Location, location, location. I would like to have had a bigger kitchen so I could have prepared a few meals at home (we were there 2 weeks) but the kitchen is extremely small. It did have the modern conveniences of glass 2 burner stove top, microwave, small refrigerator, coffee pot, toaster, but no counter top room to work and prepare a meal and no place to store supplies that would be needed. But while in Florence why not eat out. One of the many things to love about Florence is - the food!!
