Florence is the last leg of our Italy trip. We were tired from staying in small hotel rooms, so we really appreciate the feeling of "home" in Edmond's apartment. It was very clean. The bed was very comfortable, and more blankets were available when the night was cold. Edmond's wife personally came to greet us and show us the apartment. They were very always helpful and prompt in responding if we need anything.
The location is perfect, walking from train station was easy, and is walkable to all major sights, yet still very quiet because all windows were facing inner courtyard. The building gave us a taste of living in good old Florence. There are so many local restaurant within minutes, Italian, middle eastern and even Chinese restaurants. When we craved for gelato at night, it's only a few minute walk to get some more.
Our original flight at 2:30pm was cancelled and we were re-booked by airline for 6am flight so we couldn't take public transportation to airport and it's hard to call a taxi so early (especially with no Italian tongue) but Edmond called one ahead for us, treating us like his family. Thank you and I would love to stay there again if we have the luxury to re-visit Florence.
