I truly felt like a local staying at Tommaso's place: it's not right in the historic centre, but very close. I visited the city on foot, the walk to Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio is great and only a few minutes long. Oltrarno is a great part of the city. The flat was very convenient, practical, with a large bedroom, comfortable bed and a kitchen equipped to cook quick simple dishes. There is no living room as such (there is a sofa in the kitchen area) but that didn't bother me at all, I was out all day discovering the city. Tommaso was very quick to respond to my messages before I got there, the check in/check out were easy.
