Clementina is as wonderful as her apartment. She met us at the apartment to show us around, then showed us on the map all the places we needed to know: supermercato, Market Centrale, train station...not the tourist stuff, but the things we really needed to know to live comfortably in the neighborhood. Plus she gave us two outstanding restaurant recommendations.

The apartment is exactly as described, and even better. It is beautifully decorated, and centrally located for walking anywhere you want to go. (Wear good walking shoes.) You will hear saxophone and violin buskers under your window along with horse drawn carriages. The neighborhood has great ambiance.

If you purchase advance tickets online for the galleries or museums (which you should do or you'll wait in line for hours), you will need to print the vouchers. You can do this from home before you get to Firenze. Or if you order them online after you arrive (as we did), go to the train station to find the Internet Point, as that is the most dependable place to use a computer/printer. (We went to another Internet Point but their computer didn't work.) We found ourselves in a pinch without a printer, so went to the Art Hotel down the block, and the concierge was kind enough to print our vouchers for us. We also went to this hotel to order a taxi to take us to the airport in the early morning. The hotel is a great resource, and the service is fantastic.

Next time we come to Firenze, we will rent this same apartment again. It is perfect.
