You must stay at Sabrina's place when you visit Florence. It is centrally located, only a 3 minute walk to the mercado centrale (where you can find all the food and wine your heart could ever want!), and also very close to the Duomo, shopping, and about a 10 minute walk or less to the train station. Alessio met me at the train station after giving me the tip to take the volain bus from the airport to the train station to save some money on a taxi. He met me at the train station (even though I got a little turned around with all the construction, he found me). We walked back to the apartment and he pointed out good places to eat, places to avoid, and some general tips. For Americans, the apartment is on the second floor, up a flight of stairs, in a clean, safe and local neighborhood. Sabrina and Alessio were instantly available by airbnb message, and allowed us to stay a little longer past checkout time until we had to get our next train. We would definitely stay here again!
