Andrea was out of town when we were in Florence so his parents helped us with the checked in. They are super nice couple and his dad speaks English well. He helped us with restaurant reservations and finding free parking near the apartment. The apartment is located in close proximity with local restaurants and bars.
If you're coming during Summer, you may want to check with Andrea about the AC because it may not what you expect. The washer was broken when we were so it's a little bit of inconvenient for us.
