Our family stayed at Tina's apartment for 4 nights. Upon our arrival, Tina was a wonderful host and greeted us with great enthusiasm. She gave us a complete overview of things to do and see in Firenze as well as offering to aid us in our explorations of the town.
the apartment is quite lovely and well equipped. We were only 5 blocks from a complete supermarket for food items and the local bus stop was right at the corner.
The central parts of the city, are a 15-20 minute walk and once we became oriented, within easy reach.
The only drawbacks for our group were that at times there was noise from traffic at night. This was not constant but for sensitive folks, a pair of ear plugs would be a good idea!
The neighborhood is outside the tourist area so not infested with the hordes of visitors that at times overwhelm the central core!
We loved the location, loved the town and loved our host Tina!
