We are leaving for Rome in 10 days,and on to Florence on 9/23. I just received an email from the owner of an apartment we had rented for three nights there saying that they have a water leak in the Master BR and he could not guarantee that it the repairs would be completed when we arrived. He suggested we cancel and look elsewhere, and is refunding my deposit electronically as we speak. While disappointed, I was happy that he gave us at least a little advance notice. We are now left to find five days in or around Florence when we've been unable to find two extra to go along with the apartment that is now cancelled. As you may have seen from recent comments I've made to other postings, our traveling party is my wife, her mother and me, and it's our first trip to Italy. Can any of you "travel experts" out there please help us? Many thanks.
