My partner and I just spent a month in Tarcisio's Matteo Apartment.
We absolutely loved it. Exactly as a described and in the pictures.
The apartment is roughly a 15 minute walk to the central/Duomo part of florence, but it's a great walk along the Arno and shops along the way.
I actually prefer that it is our of city , a) because it's a bit quieter.. b ) less tourists such as myself :)
Within a 5 minute walk Maximum. There is a two x bakeries. A fresh vegetables shop.. and a large Supermarket called Esselunga.
If you are staying for a longer Period you can have Carrefour deliver to the door step. Here is how to do it .
Use the Chrome browser with auto translate and put this address in.. Via Della Fonderia 2R Firenze 50142 if you drop the R it's very confusing for some reason for the driver.
It's a 10-15 minute walk to Firenze Santa Maria Novella for any day trips or train travel.
The only suggesting I have particularly for longer staying guests is just one English channel for the TV. For any day you just want to chill out.
In summary I would definitely stay again, as there is a plenty of good restaurants around and the apartment was clean and in a great location.
Thanks again
