Although we knew that the apartment was centrally well-located and near most all sites, shops, cafes and restaurants, it became real apparent that we were right in the middle of the action, yet on a quiet street. The apartment was spacious and immaculately clean, something the wives were appreciative of. Because we were so close to many attractions, we did walk from one great event to the other and before we knew it, we averaged over 11,000 walking steps each day....what a great way to get in wonderful exercise for us all. Florence itself is one very wonderful city and the pasta was sensational. There seems to be more restaurants per 100 meters than any other city I have ever been to including New York. Shops everywhere, gelatoes everywhere, restaurants, cafes, cobblestone streets, museums, churches and piazzas. Needless to say, Florence, Isabella and her apartment all helped make this trip exceptional. When we return, this is where we will stay. Thank you.
