Eugenio's place is on a bus stop which makes it incredibly easy to get to or to get around Florence. It's also walking distance to another bus stop and the train. Just down the street is a delightful coffee shop that is very popular with the locals. They make great coffee and also great pastries, sandwiches and cocktails. About a block away is one of the best pizza places in the city, Pizzaman, and a fantastic restaurant, Osteria il Pratellino.
Eugenio was kind enough to wash our laundry for us and gave us clothes pins to hang dry outside our window which worked really well. There was also plenty of closet space for the 3 of us to keep our clothes organized.
Eugenio's place did not have AC when we were there and it was incredibly hot, so we had the windows all the way open at night. We needed ear plugs since the road was right out the window and also found ourselves with some bug bites in the morning. Also someone in the apartment was smoking, so beware if you are sensitive to second hand smoke.
