Andrea's place was a great place to stay in Florence! His parents were there to let us in to the apartment and explain everything. They were so nice! There were great restaurant recommendations. We didn't cook in the apartment but it was nice to have a refrigerator and to be able to make coffee. A downside in our opinion is that the downstairs neighbor's smoke so when you want to have the windows open for fresh air you will sometimes smell the smoke. But in general it's a nice place!
