Staying at Enrica’s apartment was even better than I hoped, and I fully credit this apartment and Marcel’s information on the area for transforming my time in Florence from just touristic to a proper enjoyable vacation.
Walking to the apartment from the train station was nice as well, easy to navigate, easy to find, and easy to manage with just my backpack. Be aware of the steep stairs in the building that come with the territory! Absolutely worth the exercise though.
