Friendly welcome including comprehensive information about the apartment and great tips to enjoy Florence. Apartment very comfortable and spacious, with everything you could need for an easy stay, comfortable bed, lovely hot shower refreshing after daily adventures. Amazing views from the windows everything is as described. Location allows walking to all the attractions in Florence. We also caught the bus with ease from San Marco Piazza to Fiesole, ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins on the outskirts of Florence, about 20 minutes bus ride. Buy return ticket from the supermarket in Fiesole 1,20€. Enjoyed many new and delicious food and wine experiences, some recommended in Mariangela's information folder. We visited the Mercato Centrale one morning, fantastic food and atmosphere, stayed for lunch and returned on a Wednesday evening for the jazz evening and dinner. Lobs restaurant great for seafood and friendly service, Golden View restaurant delicious with views over the Arno river. Little tradition Trattorias great for lunch or a Pannini sitting in the piazza. Don't forget to visit the 600 year old pharmacy just down the street opposite, lovely gifts from soaps to chocolates. History, art and culture amazing, tickets and a guide avoid the queues make the most of your time. Audio guides in smaller churches such as the one out of the window, Santa Maria Novella, are great to enhance the experience. Don't miss the smaller churches, amazing and surprising interiors. We were lucky to have a week, so much to see and do, other highlights included a classical concert in St Stephens auditorium, gelati and coffee with a croissant at Gilli standing at the bar. Many thanks to Mariangela and her colleague Sara.
