Artan was at the train station when we got there, and we were pleasantly surprised by his cheerful disposition. He brought us to his apartment at #29 Via Ginori, where his assistant Genta was waiting to check us in. Our apartment, which was just a few steps from a couple of good bakeries, and small shops, was a homey unit with 3 bedrooms with immaculate beddings and a loft, and 2 full bathrooms with hot water, a small but well-equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer, a living room, dining table with lots of chairs, a breakfast table and chairs that we never got to use. The best part though, was having Artan give us tours around the city, to Siena, Prada, The Mall, Pisa, San Gimignano, but the very best about Artan are his food outlet recommendations. They were excellent and very affordable...we went for seconds!!! Location too was perfect because we were able to walk leisurely to different Piazzas up to Ponte Vecchio on our own. S.M.Novella station is also not too far away but with luggages in tow, it was difficult for us to walk it. Thank you Artan, for making our stay in Florence a beautiful experience. You made my daughter's and cousins' first tour of Florence a very memorable one!
