We had a lovely break in Bruno's apartment in Florence. Bruno collected us at Firenze Rifredi train station, which is literally only a 5 minute train ride from Santa Maria Novella train station in the centre of Florence. The apartment is bright, modern and airy and is furnished with modern IKEA furniture and equipped with everything you would need for a break. The massive wardrobes and chest of drawers in the bedroom upstairs would be ample for any length of stay and the large sofa bed downstairs was very comfortable. Although the kitchen space is compact, there was everything we needed to cook on a couple of evenings and there is a choice of either a sizeable extending table in the living room or a little patio set on the balcony outside. Although the apartment is in a bustling area, its location just off the road and the good double glazing meant there was virtually no noise (and I am a very light sleeper!). The locality is well served with shops and there is a bakery, fruit and veg shop, butchers, pharmacy, pizzeria and supermarket within a very short walk. The train station is a 10 minute stroll from the apartment. All in all, an ideal spot to easily access all the best of Florence.
