Matteo was very attentive and helpful. And when he says it’s 50 m from the Duomo he wasn’t joking! It’s close to everything: eight minutes to the galleria eight minutes to the Uffizi, and there is a taxi stand right on the corner. There is a grocery store almost right across the street and a parking garage just down the street. You can’t ask for a better location. One of the amazing things about this apartment is how quiet and cool it is. After a long day in the hot and muggy in August but wonderful city of Florence it felt heavenly to come back to a cool and quiet apartment. The elevator was very convenient for our luggage but since it’s on the first floor it was unnecessary otherwise. Matteo recommended a wonderful restaurant for us, San Pierino. It’s right down the street and there’s probably some of the most wonderful food in all of Florence. We highly recommend it and to say hello to Antonio the owner and “Tommy”, the wonderful and fun waiter who taught us some Italian.
