We enjoyed our stay at Donatella's Florence apartment very much! We took the fast train from Rome and just walked right over from the train station (under 2 minutes) - it was nice to not have to get a cab. Donatella was very helpful in mapping out some potential destinations. By foot, we were able to go to the central market, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Pizzi Palace, Boboli Gardens and the Piazzale Michelangelo. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
