The apartment/home was very clean and inviting, and a nice note and bottle of wine greeted us the first day of our stay in Florence. Because of our late arrival from Rome, the host was not able to be there, but had a family member meet us in order to guide us to the house when we couldn't find it at first. The place was just a little way up and away from the outskirts of the city, and it was a quiet and peaceful family environment. The short walk in to the business area and bus stop was pleasant and allowed us to see the beautiful Florence landscape.
