Really loved my stay here at Patrizia's. Apartment was as described and location could not be beat -easy walk from train station (Firenze Santa Maria Novella) and being close to Mercato Centrale was a treat (market with many food vendors -a bit of a tourist hot spot, though great for italian food and certainly dessert -but reliable if your'e craving something beyond italian, for a change!). Getting to the Arno river from this stay is an enjoyable walk through high fashion shops and iconic churches. Everything needed for comfort is available at the apartment plus a great view of Tuscany's rolling hills beyond the city.
