Fabulous stay at Chiara's apartment this past week. The apartment was very large by Italian standards, clean and fabulous location. Within walking distance to all the major sites and museums but just far enough away from the Duomo to be quiet at night. The only "negative" was the heat, but she has a portable air conditioning unit for the master bedroom. As long as we kept that going and shut the door to the bedroom when we were in the apartment, it remained cool. We would definitely return on our next trip to Florence.
