Staying at Bred's apartment in Florence was perfect. It's right above the leather market (aka in the center of everything). The apartment itself is spacious, clean, comfortable, with awesome funky (and tasteful) decor. Bred himself was an amazing host- he let us drop our bags off early in the morning when we were checking in, plus let us leave them there for the day before our train to Florence. Seriously, so awesome and helpful. We loved it! Would definitely stay again if we're in Florence!
