We had a wonderful time in Fabio's apartment. The 3 flights of stairs were a challenge but by the end of the week I could climb all without stopping! Fabio was quick to answer any queries and very helpful. It was good to have a few basics (oil, seasoning) for cooking, and Fabio had left some snacks for us on arrival. The AC was a blessing and very quiet. The location is perfect. Walking distance from all sights, and train and bus stations, but away from the crowds. Public transport was excellent. Apart from exploring Florence we visited Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Fiesole. All worth a visit.
