Tina was a perfect host. She lives across the laneway from the flat and like a generous neighbour dropped off fruit and vegetables for us. Her apartment is as interesting and idiosyncratic as she describes it. Like an Escher drawing. The area is close to the Uffizi and Duomo but in a little oasis of everyday Firenze life. During our stay we chanced upon an opera recital and an exhibition opening in different halls only 50 metres to Tina's front door. Thank you Tina for a wonderful stay in Firenze.
