Tiziana's place is a great place to stay and see Florence. She was there to greet us and provide information about the apartment and area. The pictures on-line of the studio are exactly what you get, which we all know does not happen much. With the location we could walk to any place we wanted to see and there were also plenty of places to eat., very close by. If you wish to cook for your self there is a complete grocery store on the same street about a minute away. The studio is very secure, but remember that 2nd floor (Italian) means 3rd floor US. Floors are 0, 1, 2.... and no lift. It was no problem after walking the 463 steps of the dome in Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore and the Giotto’s Campanile Bell Tower 414 steps :-). You will enjoy this home away from home.
