The apartment is impeccably clean has everything you need and in an ideal location. Comfortable, secure, less than 5 minutes walk to the Duomo, and a short walk from Santa Maria Novella train station. Gaia is charming and can answer all your questions.
The central market, just around the corner, is well worth a visit for colour, atmosphere and wonderful foods. We can recommend the delicious fresh lasagne and quiches baked on the premises. As take-away, washed down with a glass of Chianti, makes a first class lazy dinner 'at home' And on the upper floors - well you'll just have to go, it's a fun place to be with lots of eating experiences.
The San Lorenzo district has many restaurants and is renowned for high quality leather shops. In fact the apartment is above Jimmy's Leather Collection which I note has good Tripadvisor reviews.
We are 2 'oldies' but we walked miles, saw many beautiful things and returned each evening to our cosy, secure base.
