We had a fabulous stay in this apartment just a stones throw away from the main sites in Florence. Our host Massimiliano was fantastic, we were able to drop our bags off earlier in the day and when he met us to do this he gave us a map and went through in detail, the various neighbourhoods and sites to visit. He then met us later on to check in and went through everything else. His apartment is clean and cool, a haven when you've been walking 27,000 steps around Florence- this is just our way of exploring! He even met us at check out and helped us to find the right bus as there was a bus strike- going above and beyond! Some real highlights for us was upstairs in the market central where you can choose from a range of food and eat it at a table with a cool beer- nice buzz and plenty of choice, reasonable prices too. A cycle tour by Florence Town provided a great introduction to the city. We also loved the the Santo Spirito, a square where the locals come to drink beer on the steps of the church and some fantastic restaurants where you'll find the best pizza we ever tasted at Borgo Antico. Then a little further towards the Pitti Palace was the best gelato we ever tasted, on the corner selling pink grapefruit ice cream - amazing! Every step you take you discover a new beautiful building or piazza. We will definitely come back to this city and to this apartment for further exploring! Thank you Massimiliano!!
