Matteo's apartment is really big and great! Location in the city center very nice! Close to Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Santo Spirito and Palazzo Pitti. Nearby there are lots of restaurants, including Il Munaciello, a pizzeria napoletana, but I had over there the best beef ever during my stay in Florence...There are also gelateria La Carraia and Santa Trinitá. It's a 15 min walk to train station Santa Maria Novella, to Mercato San Lorenzo and a 10 min to the Duomo. You won't need to take a taxi or bus unless you're going to Piazzale Michelangelo! I loved my stay here!
