Lorenzo cozy house at Florence.
Lorenzo is a very informative guy. His studio is very comfortable , new and cozy. Bedroom, kitchen, living room and dining room is in one room and we still have space to walk around.. The bed is nice sofa bed. Kitchen was very cool, there's a wooden cabinet to open it. Tap Water is safe to drink.. Many extra blankets on the wardrobe. there's one extra bed as well.
Toilets is very bright, clean, nice , new and neat. I love it ! Prepare your own toiletries as the soap is very small.
Heater is not working by the government but the weather is just nice :)
The studio is a few bus stops away from the main bus interchange and also Santa Maria novella train station.
We drag our luggage and walk from the SMN station to the studio and it takes 1 hour to reach the house. And he did not meet us directly, we waited for 1 hour in front of his house and finally we can get in
The Worse case is, we can not find toilet before he reached and it is very suffering while waiting.
Bus tickets can be bought at a mini shop nearby house. €1.20 or €4.70.
Bus number 12 at "Ruffini" by stop can go to the main bus station or the SMN train station around 10-15 mins depends on the traffic.
We tried to walk but it take around 30-40 mins to reach.
We take bus 13 from the main station to go back to house and stop at "venti settembre" bus stop
There's a water dispenser at the park around 2-3 mins walk from house.
There's a supermarket opposite the main station. 24 hours mc Donald. Many restaurants we tried, the best one is "bondi" at via nazionale 45. Tried the risotto and lasagna. Very nice. The chocolate cake is not very nice though.
Lorenzo recommended us to 2 restaurants but we did not have time to go there. :(
Maybe we should try next time.
We went to a few places in Florence. Duomo, The cathedral is veryyy beautiful with the small museum downstairs. Around 50 mins walk from house or around 20 mins walk from the main station.
We also went to The museum gallery del academia where we waited for 1 hour to go in and saw the "statue of David" and the ancient musical instruments there.
We went to Pisa as well , around 50 mins train from SMN to Pisa centrale. Just €8 per person for one trip. Many trains going there.
During our two weeks trips in Europe, Lorenzo's house is the most comfortable house ever :) although the location is a little far from main station.
