We enjoyed our stay in Sonia's apartment. It was conveniently located and we were able to walk to all the sites we wanted to see. She was very thoughtful and left us some goodies to tide us over until we got to the store, and a bottle of delicious wine. The courtyard was really lovely and we enjoyed playing some board games. There is a supermarket very nearby as well as a lovely bakery. She recommended a few restaurants that we tried and were very happy with. If I had a friend traveling to Florence and asked me for a place to stay I would recommend staying at Sonia's
