Ettore Stabile was a very gracious host. He responded to our questions promptly and in fine English. His apartment is sparkling and recently modernized, in an older building and in reasonable proximity to the Duomo and Santa Croce and the lovely Innocenti. We stayed in his apartment for three weeks and he had obviously given a lot of thought to the needs and comfort of his guests, with useful kitchen utensils, linens, and even playing cards. Many thanks to Ettore for our very pleasant stay. Daisy & Frank
