Hints and tips from the owner:
" It’s hard to choose among the many cultural or leisure activities available in Florence, and the numberless charming places you’ll be able to discover staying in our flat right in the middle of this city, that is a work of art in itself, included in the UNESCO World Heritage. You’ll be not just among monuments, churches, palaces, but also cinemas and theaters, discos, pubs, and - last but not least - close to several very good Tuscan traditional, ethnic or haute cuisine restaurants. Allow us just to suggest a visit to the nearby Biblioteca delle Oblate (Via dell’Oriuolo 26, from Tuesdayto Friday 9.00 – 24.00, Saturday 8.30 – 13.30, tel. + 39 055261652) the largest City Public Library recently opened in a former convent of wonderful architectural structure, from which you will also able to enjoy one of the finest views over the city. It has Internet Points, Reading Rooms, a section for International Press, Children Spacesand and worderfull cafè. "

"The flat is right in the center of Firenze with easy walking access to everything. We had a lovely time"
"The owners of the property were gracious and met me upon arrival in Florence. The owner demonstrated how to enter the building/flat and walked through the flat with me pointing out various amenities. The flat was clean and prepared for our party's arrival. We were in want of nothing; everything necessary for a more than comfortable stay was available and provided in the flat. Though the flat was quiet, we were no more than five minutes by foot from the Duomo. Indeed, we were able to walk comfortably to all of Florence's major attractions. A market was a few hundred meters away from the flat as well as many restaurants. The owners were gracious and offered many insights to the area and provided recommendations when asked. I would absolutely utilize this flat on a return trip to Florence. I highly recommend the flat as convenient and comfortable. I cannot speak highly enough concerning our stay!"
