Rolando's apartment is in the heart of Florence, and while there, you can feel the city enveloping you. Everything - sights, restaurants, shopping - is a short walk and you don't even break a sweat. It's in a heritage building just next to the building where Niccolo Machiavelli was born. History seeps through every corner, even with shops and establishments around, and if you are traveller, look no further. Great place for 2 people in Florence.
Rolando himself is a perfect gentleman, the kind they don't make any more. He came to pick us up from the airport and left a bottle of wine and valuable information of what's good in and around.
I can't wait to go back to Rolando's apartment again. This time, I'll be staying longer than 5 nights. : )
