Bitte's apartment was lovely, It was very clean, spacious and looks exactly like the photos. Her parents came to greet us and gave us some great recommendations and a map. It was about 30 minutes walk into florence, but the bus stop is a 3 min walk and it is a 15 ride - you have to get the bus ticket before you get on the bus, you can get one from a parking meter. The area was lovely with a great take away pizza restaurant and a coop nearby. We also found an excellent restaurant locally too. All in all it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend staying at Bitte's - such good value!
