Marc is a “super host “ he took the trouble to come to the train station to meet us and showed us where various amenities were close by. On reaching the apartment he went over things so we knew where everything was.
The apartment itself was lovely, well equipped, clean and bright in a really convenient location.
The public transport is pretty good and on the doorstep, you have buses that run frequently to take you to the heart of the city, plus a tram service that takes about 7 minutes to the main train station.
It is literally a couple of minutes walk to restaurants, cafes and a mini supermarket.
Walking to the centre of Florence is a 10 to 15 minutes walk but on your way there are so many amazing things to see.
Basically it takes a lot of beating.
