Alda gave us clear directions to the apartment which is less than 300 m from the main railway station, making it very convenient since we had arrived by train from Milan. Alda was very welcoming and gave us several recommendations to see the sights as well as plenty of restaurants (Mercato Centrale is certainly worth a couple of visits). The apartment itself is cosy and perfect for two people, but I must say that the view is absolutely stunning! I recommend that visitors planning to go to Uffizi/ Accademia galleries book tickets online because the lines are terribly long. In our experience, the lines to the Duomo and related sites are not as long - we didn't book in advance for these. All in all, a great few days in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
