The apartment looks like it does in the photos. What you can’t see are the beautiful swifts flying in the morning, swooping outside the window across the tops of the trees in the tranquil park across the street. The tram station is literally across the street making getting in to town so simple and easy. The bonus is you get the noise, the crowds, the beautiful madness of Florence when you want it: your home is peaceful, orderly and quiet. Nicco and his wife are perfect hosts. There is a lovely cafe downstairs with wonderful coffee. With your back to the apartment turn right to find the most delicious pastry shop about a block down in the other side of the road on the next corner shortly after the very good little grocery store. Good coffee there too. I am reticent to say how good a little find this is because I want it available the next time I travel to Florence.
