We loved Michele's apartment . It is beautifully decorated , while preserving some of the original period details of the apartment . The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen as well as everything else needed to make our stay comfortable . It is within a five minute walk of a Carefour Supermarket and a ten minute walk from the main tourist area of Florence .There is also a small park nearby which was nice for my son to play in . Communication prior to our visit with Michele was excellent , as well as communication with Michele's friend while we were in Florence.
