    "It’s note bad. Everything is manageable. Once you learn how to commute and learn the areas it a piece of cake. You can literally learn this city in. No time. Just remember land marks and you will be just fine finding your way around. I have met so many people that moved to Florence and said it’s easy learning to get around the city. "
