Well worth the value. We spent the better part of a month in this central flat in Firenze. The location is prime as it is 1-3 km from all the major sites including the Duomo, The Pitti Palace, the Arno river, the Uffizi and the Academia . Adriano’s apartment is surrounded by all manner of restaurants, shops and trades including a larger central market area filled daily with deli, fruit and vegetables vendors. We never formally met Adriano, but we spoke by phone or communicated by email. The key for entry was left for us at a nearby restaurant. We found a thorough binder left for us of the routines and ample maps and booklets related to Firenze and Italia. The flat is compact, but it is well appointed and could sleep four people as the space is a split-level with interior stairs leading to an upper bedroom. The kitchen and bath were small, but contained all the essentials. Watch your head on the second-level bedroom though, as the ceiling is quite low. The flat had all the electrical needs including cable TV, land-line phone service, spare laptop, and WIFI. We were there in August so a huge saving grace was having the air conditioning and ceiling fan. As Adriano described there is no laundry, but a launderette is a mere ½ block away. Our only request for next time might be better interior lighting in that we found the space dim; however, we did spend a great deal of our time outside touring the city. Warning: there is no elevator and it is 35 steps up to the top, and with heavy luggage or bags of groceries using the stairs can be a chore. Having said all that my overall impression is that Adriano’s flat in Firenze is fine place from which to explore the city. Ciao
