My wife, 12 month old and I are backpacking throughout Europe this summer and we fortunate enough to stay at Andrea's place in Florence. From Andrea meeting us at check-in to arranging a taxi for us at check-out Andrea had everything covered. The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous, spacious and very clean. Andrea even provided us with food for breakfasts, beverages in the fridge and even a bottle of wine. I don't think the location can be matched. It was 3 minutes to the duomo, 5 minutes to the Uffizi and maybe 10 to the Accademia on foot. The longest walk we needed to take was 20 minutes up to the Michaelangelo Piazza viewpoint. There was no need for transit passes or a taxi to anywhere. As for food, just across from the door to the apartment is a great sandwich shop and next to it is a good pizza shop that does an amazing homemade lasagna. Thank you again Andrea for a great stay in Florence and if we are ever lucky enough to be in your city again we would love to stay there!
