Location, location, location! Being 20 steps across from Mercato Centrale and around the corner from the Medici Chapel was amazing. Only a 5 minute walk from SMN station for the bus or train. The San Lorenzo neighborhood is a bit "gritty", but authentic to Florence. Gabriele made himself available if we needed anything. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. We often made breakfast in the cozy kitchen, relying on other meals from the many wonderful restaurants literally outside the door. Visiting off season availed us to the splendor of the city without the crushing crowds of summer. Gracie mille Gabriele!
