Good host! Anna's property is in a great location. While it is near many restaurants and right around the corner from the Mercato Centrale, it is only a five minute walk from the Galleria dell' Accademia (where the actual Statue of David resides) and the Piazza del Duomo. Florence was actually the second of a four-part Italy trip I had planned for my parents and I. Anna greatly assisted us when she provided us directions to her property and A LOT of recommendations/suggestions for our visit; she also has many books/guides available in the property. Unfortunately, Anna was unable to meet in person but her son Tommaso welcomed us to the apartment like family--he was funny & friendly. The apartment itself is cozy and had everything we needed--hot showers, beds, WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen to include common necessities such as coffee and cooking oil. A Carrefour Express is located less than 30 seconds away--convenient for groceries and general household items. The only comment I would like to mention to others--no fault of Anna--is there is no lift in the building. As long as you are ok with walking up a few floors, trust me when I say, you will feel like you're at home while staying at Anna's place--a home away from home! :)
