Very spacious and clean apartment (entire second floor of a house with private entrance) on the outskirts of Florence (metropolitan area). Easily fit our family of 4. The house is not located in the city so you need to plan trips into the city by bus if you do not have a car. Bus stop is very close (3 min walk) and the bus tickets can be bought at the nearby tobacco shop as well (3 min walk). A bus ride will take 20 minutes on average depending on where in the city you need to go. Bikes are also available for rent in the area. Plenty of grocery stores, cafes and restaurants within a 5-15 minute walk so you won’t be stranded. Only if you need to see the major tourist attractions will you need transport.
The host Barbara was very responsive and always available to help. All in all a pleasant stay!
