Enrica's apartment is located in a very convenient area, close to the river and just a bit aside from the central madness. Traffic jams may slow you down when arriving from the station, but from then on moving around is really easy using Florence's rental bike system or even walking. There are decent places for eating around, a wonderful garden bar and even a fish shop if you wish to cook a quick and inexpensive dinner. I also noticed a vegan shop nearby.
Our host gave us clear directions and after a short introduction let us enjoy our days in the city. She prepared everything essential so we felt at home.
