This was a wonderful place, amazing value. It is located on the south side of the river, which is far better than the tourist-packed and picture-perfect proper Florence. Oltrarno is full of places to eat, little bars etc. There are shops nearby so you can buy your supplies without any hassle.
The walk into town will take you about 10 mins so you really do not need to use public/private transport. Many thanks Modestino and we hope to see you again one day!
