I cannot say enough about this perfect place in Firenza. We were given excellent directions from the train station (about a 15-minute walk up Nazionale to a lovely, local neighborhood off a piazza) upon our arrival from the south, and when we arrived, we were greeted warmly by Lorenzo and his mother. They gave us a map and told us the best way to get to the historical district, a lovely walk through the boulevards and streets of residential Florence. It is the perfect location if you want a combination of Florentine local life (the nearby piazza has free water to fill up your bottles, either with sparkling or natural water, and there is a great drogaria [bar, general store] and pizza place right on the corner), and you can sit in the piazza and write about your day while observing and being part of the local life. The apartment was immaculate and had everything you need for your stay. I highly recommend Lorenzo's PINO loft when you are in Firenza.
