My host was easy to contact to set up a meeting time. They arrived on time to show me the apartment and describe the neighbourhood. They recommended some local restaurants which were, indeed, good. It was a warm and useful welcome.
The apartment has loads of space for several people and two washrooms. All you needs to live and play for a good stay in Florence.
What a great place to stay! The neighbourhood is vibrant with many restaurants and food shops. There are many small shops in the area selling classic Tuscan goods including, most importantly, gelati. And the apartment is located only a few minutes walk from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Museum, Piazza San Croce and Piazza della Republica. Wonderful.
There is a market close by or you can walk to the central market in about 15 minutes. Around every corner there is another amazing building to explore or view to admire.
