We just got back to Connecticut after spending 13 days at Anna's fl and we couldn't have asked for a better place to have stayed! From our first email to Anna (asking many questions) to our last just a few hours ago, she was gracious, kind and helpful with all our questions and concerns! She was so wonderful to work with even before we arrived in Italy! She met us at the flat and showed us where things were and places we should go. The apartment was truly a "home away from home" for us. As the other reviews have stated, it was just minutes away from shopping, eating and places to visit! Every day we spent in Florence we walked to every location except the Piazzale Michelangelo (we had already walked to the Palazzo Pitti from the apartment and I had needed a rest!). We took day trips to Siena and Venice and an overnight to Rome easily using the train that is just a short distance from Anna's and a tour that we found at the information center by the train station. Anna had everything we needed stocked in the apartment and we felt right at home!

We ate breakfast at the apartment but had dinner out almost every night. There are so many little restaurants within just a few minutes of the apartment that it was easily to try someplace new every night. And there is even an "American Bar" just below the apartment that quenched my desire for a burger while my husband could still eat a delicious Italian dish.

With the market (del Mercato Centrale - food) just a food blocks away, we were able to enjoy the experience of buying wine, cheese, meats and vegetables as a local might and there is still a small supermarket right at the corner.

Even spending two weeks in Florence, there is still more we could have seen and explored! If we ever go back again, we would love to stay at Anna's apartment again! There is no reason to check any other location!

Even the steps up to the apartment helped keep the extra pounds from all the gelato that we ate off!

Thank you so much Anna for all your help and kindness! We hope if you ever come to Connecticut or South Carolina you will let us know!!!!
