The location is 5 minutes walk to the edge of the historic centre and about 20-30 minute walk to the Duomo in the very centre. But along that walk there is plenty to see and lots of shops. As soon as we arrived Andrea showed us around the apartment and what we could find around the area, he told us everything we needed to know and more. He was a fantastic host amd was readily available if we needed any help. Everything in the apartment was very modern and the kitchen had every feature we needed. Restaurants and supermarkets were all very close, being a few minutes walk away. The private roof terrace was a favourite part. We ate regularly up there in the evening with candles and lights. It was very quite and peaceful up there in the evening. We would highly recommend Andrea's apartment if you are looking for authentic Florentine life and food. We would definitely come back to Andrea's apartment.
