Enrico and Arina's apartment was perfect for my needs – it's in a safe, quiet part of Florence about a 45-min walk away from the city center. Although there is a bus nearby, I ended up walking to the city every day I staying in Florence because the weather was perfect and the walk along the river was so beautiful. The apartment has a washing machine, huge shower by European standards, and an amazing balcony overlooking the city (I did yoga on it several mornings during my stay, as there is plenty of space to spread out). Arina gave me some recommendations for local grocery stores and pharmacies when I arrived and explained everything well.
