Rolando met me in front of his newspaper stand as discussed and it was just a 2 min walk from there to the apartment. The apartment is located in a superb spot giving guests convenient access to both sides of the bridge. It was a really nice cozy little apartment. I really enjoyed the convenience and the privacy. The pizza joints recommended by Rolando were some of the best pizzas I tried in Italy.. Simple local joins which only the locals would know!
I would highly recommend Rolando's home if you are visiting Florence :)
