I cannot recommend Giovanna's flat enough if you are interested in taking in Florence by foot for any amount of your trip! The flat has an amazing location right by an amazing view of the Ponte Vecchio, extremely close to the Boboli Gardens, and overall in a quiet enough area away from most of the foot traffic. If you are renting a car for any amount of your trip, the small towns of Orvieto and Bolsena are within two and a half hour drive and the train station is very accessible to continue your trip to other locations. I would absolutely return to this flat if the opportunity came up to go back to Florence! Grazie mille Giovanna!
