Where to begin....wish i had a few pages to write and words that would convey what we felt for Laura, and the apartment. It was just the best place we have ever stayed snd we have stayed in many different places ! Waking up to hear church bells ringing from the back patio to looking out to see Pitti Palace in the front! The beautiful view certainly makes up for the stairs. HA! If Laura suggests a place for you go eat...trust me, she never lead us wrong. The apartment is just lovely and spacious, clean and allows you go feel a part of community! We cannot wait, Lord willing, to go back next year for another month! Laura has the gift of hospitality and it shows!
