What a wonderful stay my girlfriend and I had at Patricia's fantastic apartment! We came to Florence for a week and this was, without a doubt, the best way and best place to stay - the location literally couldn't be better, the view of the duomo out of one window and the palazzi vecchio out the other is stunning, the outdoor area in the heart of town such a luxury in a place like Florence. The kitchen enabled us to cook wonderful food at home with produce from fresh stalls in the alleyway next to the apartment (and saved us money than if we ate out every night!). It really was, I cannot stress enough, the perfect place for two people visiting Florence and if you want a place which is homely and warm and makes your stay even better, this is certainly the place to come. And Patricia is such a wonderful and accommodating host. The ONLY thing that this apartment could do with is blinds/shutters on the windows facing the duomo as, if you're like me and like to sleep in complete darkness, the lit up duomo is rather bright in the night and did keep me up the first night. Hung up jackets fixed it though for the rest of the week and the bed is very comfy to sleep in. Though this is a very small note, all in all I cannot praise this apartment and Patricia enough. We definitely know where to stay next time we come to Florence! Thank you for making our time fantastic Patricia!
