The apartment is in the heart of all the local action, tons of bars right around the corner, plenty of sights in every direction. Guido is super helpful and responsive, plus Mr. Lombardi is always there to help you/talk to you (although he only speaks Italian- though it's still really enjoyable to talk to him even if you don't speak Italian as he's a very light-hearted and friendly elderly man). You can open the bedroom window and really soak in the medieval street and Florentine roof tops. There are guide books in the apartment that can be pretty useful when picking restaurants (which I would recommend because Florence has a lot of touristy spots to eat and also some world-class restaurants if you know where to look). Also, it was really easy to get to from the train station (10 euro cab ride). Overall, I'd say it was a perfect experience.

Thanks again Guido!
