Modestino's place is right in the heart Florence but it is out of the busy tourist ridden streets. There is a lovely square near the apartment where we had Aperotivo, drinks, breakfast etc, all recommendations of Modestino. He even secured 10 - 20 % in some places that in our opinion were the best ones that we went too. There is also a great ice cream shop a short walk away from the centre that was great! In terms of the actual apartment it was exactly what we needed, perfect location, local knowledge from the host & adequate facilities.
