Chez's place is absolutely gorgeous! Very unique and beautifully designed. We loved every single corner of the place and wish we could stay longer. It is a bit far from the city center. Driving is not recommended in Florence. Biking is easy enough and will get you to the city center where all the action is. While a bit away from the city center, the basic needs are close by; a coffee shop is down the corner, a super market is a few blocks away, tourist parking right outside of the apartment and a handful of restaurants.
