I had a lovely stay at Bonny and Max place. I really like the convenience of being very close to the center of town and a five minute walk to the main train station and Florence metro and bus station. Max is the one who does the check in in person. He was able to recommend a great museum that I really enjoyed. It's easy to communicate with him in person his English is pretty good. The building is an old hotel. So everybody has their own room with a bathroom. They live in the building as well. And in the corner of the room there's a microwave, expesso machine, kettle, refrigerator and basic dishes. The room is also stash with basic essentials like tea, espresso, butter, milk, jams, shampoo, soap. Right around the corner there's a small grocery store that pretty much has everything and they're open 24 hours a day. The heating works very well. My room had a large window looking out to a very quiet street. When I return to private I would definitely stay with them again.
