We had a wonderful stay at Antonio and Cristina's apartment. Antonio and Cristina met us at the apartment. They are a lovely couple and made us feel extremely welcome. We actually walked from the Florence train station (1/2 hour pleasant walk). Although there are plenty of cabs in the City. The apartment is extremely large relative to other Italian apartments. It really is a beautiful apartment and greatly exceeded our expectations. It allowed our family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys) to spread out a bit after spending long days together. It is situated in a lovely neighborhood near the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. It is close to very good restaurants, shops and a short walk to the Town Center. The apt has a rear terrace that looks out on a large green area. We spend our evenings on the terrace relaxing and enjoying excellent Italian wine. We greatly miss Florence and this apartment!
