The apartment is in the older part of Florence, as spacious as the photos show, a seven to eight minute walk to the Piazza della Signoria, and, most importantly for us, a garage, since we drove from the South and a few days later were heading north. A word of advice: leave your car there & walk (or bus) while in the city. As good as the apartment, perhaps even better, is Adriano, a welcome host. We had traffic problems arriving from Assisi, and he was with us every step of the way. We arrived later than I had wished, and yet Adriano stayed the better part of an hour helping us getting acquainted with details on Florence. He has made a book containing everything! I had been in Florence several times & knew the major attractions, but he gave my granddaughter & me even the most minute details, and Adriano has friends everywhere! The apartment is great, Adriano is priceless.
