We had a comfortable stay in Sara's condo. Her mom was waiting for us when we got to her place in the evening. She was very gracious and showed us all the gadgets in the house and how they work. She told us about the places to see that were close by and the restaurants that were close to the condo. It was convenient to walk around the area which is walking distance from Santa Maria Novella and the station. We enjoyed our stay in Florence. We have just returned to Vancouver after a 3 week trip to Italy, Greece and Switzerland!
