Debora and Riccardo had the most beautiful apartment for us right in the heart of Florence. Such a great location, walking distance to all the must sees in the city. The Mercato centro was right across the street with a very nice Italian food court open late on the 2nd floor. Za Za ‘s Trattoria was the best meal we had. Definitely try the beef tenderloins with the Rosemary potatoes, along with some porcini mushroom fettuccine. We rented a car, and Debora helped us out with a parking garage for 30 euros a night, we found it not even necessary to rent a car. It was wasted money. We could have taken the train to Venice with a lot less headache. We absolutely love Florence, everyone was so friendly and we felt absolutely safe. Thanks for great memories!
