We had a wonderful time in Bred's beautiful apartment! The location was perfect--right in the center of Florence--literally steps to San Lorenzo and the Duomo, as well as the Mercato Centrale, a huge indoor market with lots of fresh produce, cheeses, and meats. It was a bit noisy at times, but after all, we didn't come to Florence to sleep ;). The place is beautiful with high (frescoed!) ceilings and lots of character, and the room is very spacious. Bred and Nadia were super nice--couldn't have asked for better hosts. Overall, a great experience, and we would love to stay there again in the future!
