My wife, mother-in-law, and I stayed here for four nights. Piero surprised us by picking us up at the train station and driving us back to the apartment, which was clean, spacious, and as perfect as it gets. I especially liked the large windows, which allowed for a lot of air flow and reduced the need to use the air conditioning. The windows are also screened, which meant we didn't get flys or mosquitos in the house. The shower in the master bedroom was wonderfully relaxing and the beds decadently comfortable. I could go on about how great the apartment is, but suffice it to say that Piero did not cut any corners and has put a lot of love into it. Upon arrival, Piero gave us a tour and let us know that the bottle of wine and basket of fruit on the kitchen table were for us (nice detail). As for the location, it takes about twenty minutes to walk to the Duomo and historic district. Two of the routes go along the river and are very pleasant, one passing in front of the Palazzo Pitti. One pleasant surprise was discovering two outdoor café/bars along the route (south side of river), which we enjoyed in the late afternoon before dinner (Santarosa Bistro and Centro Recreativo). Finally, there is a supermarket adjacent to the apartment complex and the dining options are varied and very good quality. We ate at the Trattoria Sabatino (recommended by Piero and definitely worth doing for a delicious and budget-friendly meal) and Osteria La Scarpetta (around the corner from the apartment and good for families or couples). The restaurants in the neighborhood cater to an Italian clientele and in our experience were very welcoming to tourists. One of the advantages of staying at Piero's, in fact, is the quality and affordability of the dining options. I think eating in the center of town is hit or miss, and most places over priced. If we ever return to Firenze, we will definitely try to stay with Piero again. It made our visit all the more memorable.
