We spent five days in Caterina's apartment, and enjoyed it greatly! She was the best kind of hostess, there when you needed her and unobtrusive when you didn't. The apartment was exceptionally pleasant, with a large dining room, a living area with a TV, a good sized bedroom and a very workable kitchen. Our favorite area was the small terrace adjacent to the garden, where we would have morning coffee and evening drinks. The neighborhood is very interesting, with a super market close by, a great gelateria, a pharmacy across the street, and many interesting merchants. The place is about a ten minute walk from the Duomo or the Palazzo Vecchio and not far from Santa Croce. We'll be certain to use her apartment again the next time we visit Florence!
