Walter was a great host! We felt very relaxed in his apartment - he's very good at creating a welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is well situated near Santo Spirito - an awesome little neighborhood across the Arno from most of the tourist action. It's got a lot of action of its own however! Great spot to just sit and people watch. Take Walter's recommendation on food and you can't go wrong! Both places we tried were wonderful. Volume in Santo Spirito was my go-to breakfast for caffe and fresh juice. If you want to get into some tourist sights, they are not far - the Ponte Vecchio, Pitti Palace, Uffizi, and Palacio Vecchio are all about 5 minutes away by foot. Highly recommend. Only drawback: (not a problem for us, but may be for some people) this is a small apartment and has narrow spots in it. If you have limited mobility or want more spacious accommodations, this probably isn't a good fit for you.
