My stay at Donatella's was wonderful! I stayed there for 3 months, and It felt like home.
The apartment is a very comfortable, charming space. It has nice natural light during the day, and the surrounding streets are very quiet at night. I cooked every day, and I was never lacking anything. There are a few other apartments in the small apartment building, and because Donatella introduced me to them all I felt I was part of the building "family"— it was very comforting! I was also able to focus very well in the apartment when I worked there everyday. The neighborhood is one of my favorite zones of Florence. It's right around tons of cute shops and places to grab a good bite, well connected to buses, but also easy to walk to the very center of the city by foot (For example, to the Duomo would take about 15-20m by foot)
Donatella is a warm, open, and all around delightful person. She responded immediately anytime I messaged her, and was more than happy to help me out with any questions that arose.
I loved my time at the apartment and have already booked another stay!
Grazie mille, Donatella!!!
