The apartment proved a wonderful place to stay while visiting Florence for a month. It is out of the tourist zone but close enough to make access easy. Buses, as well as a train station, were just a short walk away. The restaurants in the area were the ones frequented by the locals which made for an authentic experience with lower prices than downtown. The apartment with its high ceilings and antique furniture felt luxurious. Francesco and Laura were perfect hosts providing plenty of literature about Florence and answering all questions. Highly recommended!
