We arrived very late (midnight) and Antonio waited for us patiently and was very friendly and welcoming. The flat was great, and we had a great time. It's perfect for travelling with small children, there's not too much clutter in there, so it's easy to baby-proof. Florence is so flooded with tourists, it's nice to see a normal people's neighborhood and experience a bit of the town outside the mayhem of the old city. The walk into town is about 20 minutes, but it doesn't feel very far.
