3 minutes from Michelangelo's David! (And a ten minute walk from the train station) Federica's apartment is on a convenient marketing street, so that having take-out lunches on the small but sunny terrace will always be a temptation. But her restaurant recommendations were also worth heeding--try CUCO. We were grateful for the excellent air-conditioning and washing machine, and her shower, I am ashamed to admit, is nicer than ours back home. If there is one caution, it would have to be the stairs to the loft--if you need to use the bathroom multiple times in the middle of the night, the sleeping loft might be vexing. But if you're under 70, it shouldn't be an issue. Federica and Jacapo made us feel very welcome in Firenze.
