We rented two bedrooms in Pieros' large apartment. The place is beautiful and spacious. The kitchen has any type of gadget you would need. Piero is an excellent host. He responded very quickly to our queries. He also picked us up at the train station, let us deposit our bags in the apartment before check-in time, and drove us to the center of Florence. For the pickup service, he charged 15 pounds, which we thought was very reasonable. Piero's place is about 1 1/2 miles from the center of town. It is on one bus line and near another - a convenient location that is removed from the hustle and bustle of central Florence. We highly recommend staying at Piero's place.
