I highly recommend Donatella's flat for a group of travelers, especially if it is your first time to Florence. It was spacious, a GREAT LOCATION right in the middle of old Florence, had a clean, large bathroom, lovely kitchen and included an espresso maker. Donatella met us early to allow us to drop bags and begin exploring the city before we were officially able to check in to the flat. The old building has a lot of character, but the actual unit has many modern amenities. This is a can't miss flat in Florence and a great retreat from the crowded tourist streets.
