Great apartment in a very nice area outside of downtown Florence (on top of a hill which overlooks the city - beautiful view). There is a large parking spot. Getting to downtown is doable with a bike (there are 2 bikes provided in the apartment). There are no shops or restaurants that are walking distance, so having a car or biking would be the best. There is public transportation nearby, but it does require quite a bit of a walk. Taxi is ~ 14€ to downtown which we called from the nearby gym called Klab (also very nice). Biancamaria was a great host and she greeted us with cold drinks in the fridge and had coffee pods for the nesspresso machine. Good communication. We stayed for a week and were able to travel to surrounding Tuscan towns very easily from this location. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!
