We didn't realize how central we were or how to navigate the streets of Florence (Firenze), but the location was superb. You'll need to leave your car at a garage and won't use it during your stay. On check-in, Alessandro was VERY responsive as our arrival time kept modifying because we drove from Nice, FR along the Italian Riviera, making stops asking the way. The apartment was spacious and very clean. We didn't spend much time there, but you could if you have a longer stay. Buy some food and wine to eat at one of the many surrounding plazas or relax in the apartment. I could envision staying with Alessandro again if and when we visit Florence, IT again.
