Donatella's place is in the most amazing location; literally right next to the Duomo. Like most people have already said, the views from the room are awesome!!!
We got terribly lost trying to find somewhere to park our car outside of central Florence and Donatella was so nice in helping us figure it out and then welcoming us into her home after midnight!!!!! I am so very grateful to her. Just a tip, parking is available in Scandici at the Coop supermarket. The tram stop is right there and will take you to Santa Maria Novella train station in Florence. From there it's an easy walk to Donatella's home.
The room is upstairs from the main living area and we felt slightly uncomfortable having to walk thru her home every time we came and left but Donatella was always very nice about it.
The room offered some nice amenities such as many books on Florence, restaurant suggestions, a walking map, hair dryer and my very favorite item, a magnifying mirror!!!!!!!!!!
Donatella, thanks again for your hospitality and help!!!
