Pietro’s lovely apartment is 15 minutes (by foot) away from the railway station. With the help of google map I managed to find my way with much ease. Pietro is quick to respond to all my texts and he came down to fetch me up. The lift is brand new (touch screen kind, very high tech) and in fact whole area seem newly developed. Quiet residential area away from the City Centre but yet closed enough to reach most tourists attraction within 25-30 minutes by foot or 15 minutes by bike (I used Mobike to get around). However it will be quite a challenge to get to his place by bus or tram (still have to walk few hundred meter to get to his place after alighting).
Lovely room with everything provided, including a private toilet next to the room. Despite the fact that we both have problem communicating, we managed to hold small talks over my stays. In fact I love the place so much that I request to extend 2 more nights.
Overall I had an amazing experience for my first trip in Florence. I got way more out of the small amount of fee I paid. Pietro and his girlfriend are such nice and warm hosts that I would highly recommend to anyone.
