Its expensive to live in the city centre, but you can find affordable places to stay. Eat at home its always the best option, but theres a lot of good and cheap restaurants around (not in the touristic ares)

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Florence? Is there any advice you can give?

Before i go, I've received some e-mails from people who want to share apartment, they were all fake! so my advice is: do not trust anything you receive by email! Always use websites to find the apartment (and check the website on google to see if its trustable)
