The location of Antonio's place is absolutely amazing. It is so close to SMN train station, which is also where the airport bus picks up and drops off. Once you've arrived, his apartment is a 5-15 minute walk form almost every major sight in Florence!

The apartment is a really interesting space, and the entry does lend to having privacy coming and going. THe room was big and bright and clean and the bed was really comfortable.

A few minor downsides were that the rest of the apartment could have been a bit better maintained, and the kitchen wasn't very conducive to cooking for yourself (but you're in Florence! Eat out!).
There was some issue with meeting Antonio upon arrival but it worked out in the end and he took fantastic care of a sleepy traveller.

All in all a very central apartment with a great comfortable room.
