We stayed in several apartments during the course of our vacation across Europe. Patricia's loft stands out as one of the, if not the best. Nothing beats a private terrace where you can have breakfast or a leisurely afternoon with the Duomo before you. The loft was immaculate. My wife and I particularly loved Patricia's attention to detail. From the tiny ribbons she uses totie together utensils, to the herb garden in the window sill which fills you with the scents of tuscany every morning and afternoon. The climb up the steep stairs will be a challenge for anyone with big luggage but Patricia is such an excellent host that she arranges for someone to help you manage this - in fact, she will even insist in helping carry bags herself. As for the location, you are in the middle of everything. A perfect stay!
