Tarcisio was a fantastic host, and his apartment was perfect for our needs. It is a very comfortable apartment that had very comfortable beds, and very good bathroom amenities. The kitchen is modern and has all the necessary equipment to cook up a great meal as we did on several occasions. The location of the apartment is a 15 minute walk from the main train and bus station and same distance to the main historic square, Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio etc. There is also a large supermarket only 5 minutes down the road and around the corner, All you could possibly need is there. There is also local bread, wine, fruit and veg etc down the street from the apartment. If you take one of the small side roads from the apartment to the Ponte Vecchio bridge there are some great little shops and bars of all descriptions which are all worth a look, and also a suprise to speak with a UK/Scottish woman who operates a furniture restoration business on the corner near the local Post Italiane. We would like to pay a special thanks to Tarcisio for assisting us with some urgent medical assistance in finding the local hospital to repair a broken arm, but more importantly for making our stay in Florence extra special.
