The apartment is even better than described: beautiful, clean, new and best of all in a safe central location! We travelled with our 2 kids ages 11&9 and the space provided more than ample room for us all to have good rest. If you're too tired to walk, taxi rides are easy to arrange as well and doesn't cost much because the place is centrally located. Sid was an amazing host who was incredibly responsive! He also accommodated our early arrival which was critical because we had arrangements to be in Chianti that evening. In fact we were delayed a few times coming in from Venice and he made us feel at ease that he would be waiting there to greet us and he was! Such a relief after a frenzied morning! He also helped us with a few taxi arrangements. We are a family of foodies and the apartment also provided us with access to great restaurants just around the corner and even more variety is available if you feel like walking only for about 10-15 minutes. We tried Trattoria Zaza which was an eclectic one and thoroughly enjoyed our meal (aside from the famous Florentine T-bone steak and amazing grilled chicken, they have a menu for the adventurous palette as well; think truffle infused everything, herb stuffed rabbit, Ossobuco etc). Make reservations and try to sit inside as their decor is equally eclectic (though our 9 year old was vocal about not quite appreciating the vintage dolls LOL) and has a completely different feel from their outdoor sitting. The drinks were amazing too! For a small museum with hands on activities, try Museo Galileo after which you can stroll the shopping district! You will love your stay here!
