Francesca'a flat was an amazing place to stay to experience Florence. It is very close to Palazzo Pitti and the Ponte Vecchio bridge which opens up to all of the sites and wonders Firenze has to offer! Francesca was at the flat which was a quick cab ride (€16) from the railway station and every recommendation she made was perfect, from the leather merchant recommendation (Massimo's) to dinner at 4 Leone (amazing steak Fiorentine) to the worlds best Gelato near Santa Croce (Vivoli).....this flat was perfect for a comfortable stay and for getting out to see everything in Florence. If only there were more hours in the day and fresh feet could be put on! Tip to Dan Brown fans, take the "Inferno" inspired secret passages tour at Museo di Palazzo Vecchio, it's an incredible look inside the walls of the Palazzo! Ciao!
