The location is convenient to bus lines but are at least a 20 minute ride into Florence. There are a couple of places to eat and a pharmacy very nearby. We enjoyed Pipistrella located close by and ate there twice. Our biggest disappointment was the lack of air conditioning, very uncomfortable beds/ pillows and scarce amenities such as towels and toilet paper. Giorgio is a wonderful host and very kind. The apartment itself is quite nice and comfortable although is located on a very busy street. We appreciated the proximity to the bus lines as well as Giorgio's advice on which buses to take to get into the city.
