The flat is larger than we expected. Lots of space and convenience. Lovely to have a nice balcony that is perfect for two, with a nice view over rooftops. Location near to Santa Spirito is fantastic at day and night. The veg store over the road sells great tomatoes for just 1.5 Euros a kilo.

For low cost food, Borgo San Frediano is just around the corner.

We recommend getting Florence Card so you can see all the sights. To avoid ques at Uffizi, simply arrive at opening time, 8.15, with your Florence card and walk straight in. Most other attractions, except for Gallery of the Academy have small ques. Santa Maria Del Carmine is just round the corner and a great first visit with its wonderful Frescos.

We loved Florence and look forward to staying at Michele's flat again.
