Adriano was amazing. He met us at the apartment and provided us with many tips for the area. The pizza across the street is amazing. Best ever. I was disappointed when I went to other places. The man their can do custom pizzas and calzones. Adriano gave us suggestions about seeing the sunset atop a hill with a great view of florence. And atop of a restaurant patio. So worth it. Good location. You can walk to everything. We took a taxi from the train station. 13 euros. The ceiling is a bit low and my partner is 6'3'' he hit his head a few times and was too tall for the shower. I have got to say that the city is beautiful and the safest I felt on our 3 week trip of Europe. The place could use a bit of up dating but we found it ok and a good host makes all the difference . Be advised that the bus system in Florence might be a bit hard but adriano will direct you in the right direction. I had a hard time figuring when to get off but I used the iPhone map to see how close I was .
