We highly recommend Suzy’s place. She is a wonderful hostess and her apartment is perfect. It is in the middle of town- mere steps from the Duomo and Galleria d’accademia (statue of David). Having dragged our suitcases around Italy for numerous days already, my mother was not keen on a place with stairs but there were only ~10 small steps to get up to Suzy’s wonderful apartment. The air conditioning was huge during our mid-July trip and there was a delicious bottle of Chianti awaiting our arrival. Suzy’s neighborhood information book pointed us to Trattoria Marione, which was an excellent restaurant with equal hospitality. Thank you Susy!!!
