Rama’s place is ideally located in a wonderful safe, artistic area surrounded by nature in a very urban Florence. Gardens are close by and easily reached by walking. We especially liked the Rose garden and Bardini. Both have outstanding views of the city. Center of town and all the museums are in easy walking distance. The river is just a block away. Transit is only around the corner. For those that dread stairs, this is a ground level unit. To make it feel homey, Rama had placed flowers in the outside terrace area and many paintings are hung on the walls. (His studio is in front.) This unit is ideal for 1-2 people. There are two sleeping beds. One is a foldout (or a couch) but with a comfortable mattress., both are doubles. The area has a number of good restaurants, a great bakery, take away food, and a fresh fruit gelato shop. The absence of an oven was not a problem. I stayed over 2 weeks and grew to love the area. Even for a short visit this unit would be ideal. I hope to return.
