We were made very welcome on arrival and given great information on how to get around Florence. It was a bit further out of the city than I had thought and everything (apart from superb pizza restaurant) closed by 8pm. Day time and everything comes to life - fab bakers/fruit/veg all on the door step.
Flat was homely, beds v. comfortable and so much nicer than hotel rooms. We chatted for hours in the cosy lounge.
It is on the second floor so lots of steps and probably not suitable for some. Balcony was hardly one at all. Just so you know.
However, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. And Florence is AMAZING!!!
