We called Florjan from the train station and he met us at the apartment. He showed us the apartment and we had a long visit with him where he shared some ideas of things to do while we were staying in Florence. One thing he told us to do was to go to visit at sunset the Piazzale Michelangelo. It offers a tremendous view of the city and is well worth the walk or I suppose one can take a taxi.

Florjan also told us that the apartment was located in a famous tower so I looked it up. It is the Torre degli Amidei or the Tower of the Amidei and I would suggest Googling it for more information.

The apartment is literally steps from the famous Ponte Vecchio and all of the things we wanted to see in Florence were within easy walking distance.

The apartment was very nice. We sat and sipped wine one evening from the windows in the bedroom while watching the world go by. It was clean and well equipped with lots of storage.

Our train out didn't leave until 6pm and Florjan was kind enough to store our bags for us at the apartment. Cab fare to and from the train station for three people with luggage was ten dollars which included a tip.

It was a great stay and I would recommend the apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay in Venice.
