We arrived by car in Florence and thus we were a little worried where to leave it. Michele helped us to find a nearby (100m from his apartment) and for Florence inexpensive guarded parking spot. (Garage Via Fiesolana, open 24 hours, rates vary between €20-30 per day)
At the check-in he provided plenty of information and a map of of Florence, also listing personal recommendations where to go for food ( Caffe Italiano offers mouth-watering pizza).
His apartment offers everything you need on small space. It is even air-conditioned. The central location is perfect, you'll walk 10minutes to the Duomo and the Uffizi.
