Cecilia's place was gorgeous. Situated adjacent to one of the Arno River bridges, the location is fabulous! Prepare yourself for a loud, bustling hectic city in the heart (full of tourists). The history is fabulous & the sites wonderful. We treated ourselves to a sunset with our wine, by the Boboli Gardens which was breathtaking. The flat had a lift (a rarity!), was beautifully decorated & appointed with fresh food for breakfast! You really can't open the windows due to the noise & cooking smells, but that didn't matter! The flat is also air conditioned & beautifully decorated with antiques, full of character. We had to pick up a rental car & Cecilia, her Mother Laura & Father, were wonderfully kind in letting us store our luggage so that we had a bit of extra time in Florence without the hassle of finding a luggage storage location. The kindness & hospitality was wonderful & made us feel most welcome! Grazie mille! Ciao Deanna & Bill, Dan & Divina
