Even though it was the hottest week of the summer, the place is still cool and comfortable.
We enjoyed walking from the apartment to the center of Firenze (25 minutes), visiting various shops and markets a bit farther from the touristic area.
It is also really convinient to go to Fiesole (20 minutes bus + walking) , a village you must see!
A few pizzerias in the neighborhood that we preferred, they even offered drinks.
