Jean Pierre is a diligent, thoughtful, and communicative host to this efficient apartment in an excellent location on the Central Market Plaza, only a straightforward 10 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station, and a scant two blocks to the Duomo.
Jean Pierre was out on the street to meet us following our message that we were heading over from the train station, and thoroughly explained the key operating features of the the apartment.
Sadly, we only had a day and a half to burn in Florence, but it was also a boon that the apartment turned out to be only a 10 minute walk to two really good places to eat we were looking forward to —- I Fratellini and Alla Griglia, and directly the other side of the Central Market (a one minute walk) from a reliable and reasonable store —- Florence Leather —- where we found some nice leather jackets.
I hope we’ll have more time on our next trip to visit the cultural and historical sites in Florence, and that we can stay again at Laura and Giulia’s.
Ciao and thanks, Jean Pierre!
