Exactly what we were expecting, a typical Florentine apartment in a lovely residential area. Ideal for bus routes into the city , lots of lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. We can recommend Il Pallaio restaurant which is a 10 minute walk from the apartment. Our host Francesco was a lovely helpful man. he even found time to wish my partner happy birthday on the day, 4 days after we'd arrived as he had noticed it upon registration ,a lovely touch. the apartment gave us a sense of the spirit of Florence and was far from the city type accommodation which could be in any city. we will definitely be back
