Our time at Piero's place in Fierence was the highlight of our two week trip through Europe. The amenities and comfort made it the ideal sanctuary after a long day of travel and late night of sightseeing and enjoying the city. The town center can be seen from the balcony, a fifteen minute walk away, but bus stops are also convenient (ask Piero how to get tickets if you aren't acquainted with the process). Just remember that public transportation is not the most reliable late at night. The kitchen is well equipped and grocery shopping at a large market is a short walk and easy to find (Piero pointed it out to us). And with four of us, the two full bathrooms were greatly appreciated.
