Donna's place is perfectly situated amid the Firenze city bustle and life. Out one window you can see and hear the quiet chatter and clinking forks of a cafe. Out another window you can see and hear the daily life of a resident from their patio. With the windows closed, it's a quiet respite from the busy city. Just outside the front door, you step directly from the threshold into the street with zooming mopeds and ambling walkers, the occasional car and the swerving bicycles. Directly to your left is an amazing gelato shop, to your right is that cafe you can hear from your bedroom windows and across the street is a shop with beautiful handmade leather works. The apartment is just steps away from a piazza with coffee and a fresh fruit stand. The area is walking distance to everything even a bike rental place which came in handy for us to see more of the city. Donna is wonderful and will sit down and orient you to the city and Places to go and experience while you're there visiting. We loved it.
