Savio's place had a great amount of space and all the amenities you'd expect at your own home. The great kitchen and nearby grocery made home cooking the way for us to go. We found condiments in the kitchen, soaps in the bathroom, etc. already there. We didn't want to stay in the middle of the city and Savio's apartment is in a quiet section but still very close to the action. The bus stops a few hundred feet from the apartment. We also used the train which is one block away. Two stops to the central station and downtown took ten minutes and cost us less than $2. We recommend downloading the trenitalia app for e-tickets. After days of noisy nights in Rome, Savio's Firenze sanctuary meant catching up on sleep, washing clothes, and cooking our own meals for a change.
