The owners could not have been nicer. Although our contacts were infrequent, they now seem like old friends. The apartment is well situated and most important sites are within ten or fifteen minutes on foot. A car in the town center would be an encumbrance.
There is a supermarket close by, as well as a laundry and many good restaurants in the area. The train and bus stations are about a mile away. The big arts center is a bit farther than the train station. There is a washing machine in the apartment. The fridge has a small top freezer. I was alone, but appreciated the space. It would be perfect for a couple, and anyone who wants to explore Firenze in all directions. Things are not brand new, and the building is old, with some attendant problems. There is no elevator, but there is only one flight of stairs. If you want something absolutely pristine and new, stay at a hotel.
