The previous reviews really say it all. Grazia is a superb host who goes to a great deal of trouble to help and make you feel welcome. Everything has been thought of. Grazia is also at hand to help and advise. The apartment itself is in a lovely quiet area of Florence, but an excellent base. There are a couple of supermarkets and plenty of restaurants. The centre can be reached by walking via mainly pedestrianised areas. The Oltrano area is very easily reached by walking too. However for non-walkers, the No 6 bus from just round the corner at Oberdan is an excellent service, stopping at Piazza San Marco and going to Santa Maria train station. Please note that because of road works at present, the stop from the station to Oberdan can move. At the moment it is very close to the station's main exit/entrance. Exiting the station, cross at the traffic lights and the temporary stop is just on the right.
