Pilar was a lovely host and was very welcoming and thorough on arrival. The flat itself is very nice, and while very hot without air conditioning at first, there is a ceiling fan which, on full blast and in combination with opening the window and closing the shutters most of the way, works OK as a substitute. The roof terrace is enormous and provides an excellent view of the city, and the surrounding area has far fewer tourists than the centre while still having plenty to do and all necessities (supermarket, restaurants, bars, enoteca, etc.) Also, it's only a 15 minute walk into the centre, or 20/25 with cases from Firenze S.M.N.
