My wife and I spent a week and a half in Adriano's apartment in Florence and had a fantastic time. The apartment was clean, well-supplied with all the necessary non-perishable items, and very quiet. The neighborhood is close enough to the historical district to make walking forays a pleasure and yet far enough away to be free of the tourist crowds. There are a number of excellent places to eat nearby whether one craves a simple pizza to an all-out feast. The Sant’Ambrogio market is just around the corner for superb fresh food items should one care to prepare dinner at home. Adriano was easy to communicate with and left a very useful packet of information concerning almost any subject a new-comer to the area might wish to know. Our departure was bittersweet as we had begun to think of the area as ‘our’ neighborhood and of the apartment as ‘our home away from home’. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
