the neighborhood was ideal-very safe and central to all sites that we wanted to see-duomo, academia, uffizi, pitta palace and bobili. etc.
catarina is adorable. she is very charming and full of good information. her direction and recommendations were accurate and proved to be great for good eats and hospitality.
the apartment if you could call it that was more like a piece of history with columns and palatial touches that enriched the experience of visiting a historical city like florence.
