We stayed in a small apartment in the middle of Florence. It was amazing. Apartment is in the narow street near Santa Croce square. It was approx 10 minutes by walk to Duomo or Ponte Vecchio.
Furniture is old but in a good way. You can feel typical italian living style everywhere. I have to say that apartment was clean and it has everything you need.
We met Andrea´s parents. They were waiting for us. I have never met such a kind parents as they were :-).
I can strongly recommend this apartment.
