I live in Florence at a walking distance from the city centre and the central station (15 min). You can have a walk or go to the main attractions by tram (the stop is at the end of the street). My home is really well located because it is so close to the airport too (19 min by tram). The neighborhood is really quiet and full of shops: bakery, butcher's, green grocer's, ice-cream shop, minimarket and bars. You can reach by walking also the Opera Theatre and the biggest park of the town. A commercial center with a gym, a cinema, some shops and a big supermarket is reachable by tram (12 min). And the best pizza restaurant of the town is at a walking distance (12 min).
My little home is perfect for who dreams to visit this wonderful historical town!
