Lovely cosy apartment booked for the roof terrace, which didn't disappoint even though the weather didn't allow us to use it as much as we would have liked. Location. Good - not right in the centre of the old city but only an easy 15 min fairly level walk to the main Florence S.M.N train station and another 10 or 15 to the river, it's certainly not out of the way. There are several bus stops within a stone's throw including 'Romito 4' from where you can get a bus down to the station area, which is a hop and a skip to the main tourist sites, or further afield with connections. We bought a Carte Agile from the local bus company ATAF (download their app too - brilliant!) who have a kiosk at the main train station. It gives you 10, 21 or 35 bus journeys so you can hop on and off to your heart's content if you want to rest your legs, and it works out cheaper than buying individual tickets, if you're going to use them all. Apartment Very cosy and homely with plenty of room for two people and their stuff. Nice touches like a couple of fleecy blankets to use on the terrace if it's a little cool and an espresso coffee pot so you can enjoy fresh Italian coffee for breakfast. A toaster and a microwave might have been useful, but with so many fantastic places to eat - including Zero Zero pizzeria and restaurant just round the corner (closed on Tuesdays) - why would you eat at home?! Kitchen perfectly good for preparing breakfast and packed lunches or light meals and it was great being able to start the day with fresh coffee, and pastries bought from the bar/bakery just down the road. Sofa bed wasn't the most comfortable but would be absolutely fine for a long weekend. We were there for a week and by the end my back was beginning to complain a little, though that was probably as much to do with all the walking and sightseeing - some Italian gin soon sorted it out! Welcome pack of breakfast goodies was a lovely touch and very thoughtful and Tziana's tips of where to go, info about buses etc before our arrival and when we checked in were also really helpful. Best tip was about the free walking tours of Florence. Run by La Bussola they offer free tours which last about 3 hours plus a break for coffee or gelato. We took the morning tour which covered both sides of the river but not the Duomo area (this is in their afternoon tour). Our guide, an architect, was very entertaining and knowledgeable and covered history, culture, art in a really down to earth, accessible way as well as some stonking tips for great places to eat without paying tourist prices. They also operate free tours in Venice. Can be booked via Eventbrite (download their app if you can to...
