We had limited time in Florence and were determined to see as much of the city as we could, planning to spend a lot of time walking. Coming home to Donella's lovely air conditioned apartment each day was heaven, even though it was too hot to use the rooftop balcony! The apartment is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and within walking distance(15-20 minutes) of everything.We ate at the markets and in cafes, took the bus to Fiesole, and climbed the Piazzale de Michelangelo. Florence is a very walkable city, and Donella's apartment is ideally located for this.
