I waited too long to book something a little closer into town. It was a bit of a walk (30 minutes) into the center of Florence. That is really the only “downside” (but what is a bad walk through the city of Florence, really?)
Silvia was wonderful. This flat was so spacious and clean and fashionable! If I couldn’t be right next to the Duomo, I at least wanted to feel like I was in Italy — and you do! The Campo di Marte is right up the street. There are a few grocery stores around the corner. You’re set up for success. Highly recommend this stay. And hopefully you’ll feel more confident in riding a bike than I!
