The apartment is well located about 15 minutes' walk from the centre of Florence, with an easy bus in via routes 11, 36 or 37. There are several good local bars and restaurants which all appear to be frequented by locals - we'd recommend Bar D'Angelo and Trattoria Ruggero in particular. There is a great bakery down the hill at the roundabout, 5 minutes' walk. The supermarket is about an 8 minute walk but is on the route to/from Florence city centre. The apartment itself is very comfortable and Paola is a great host.
