My Mum and I had an absolutely wonderful stay in Piero's apartment. He was very easy to communicate with and very warm and welcoming. He even picked us up from the train station which was a massive bonus! The apartment itself is beautiful. It is very spacious and has big open windows and a balcony. The nearest supermarket is very close by and Piero had left the basics in the fridge for us when we arrived which was very kind.
We walked into and back from Florence each day, it was about a half hour walk and we didn't use the buses at all.
Florence is a beautiful city and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our trip.
