Great option for a place to stay in Florence. Private area to live was bigger than expected and staying with Franca was like having a grandmother away from home. She brought my friend and I pastries in the morning and was very sweet for every encounter. She doesn’t speak English for any one looking to stay, you will need some Italian if you want to ask her about local cuisine or markets. We were able to do just fine with a translator. All in all, great place to stay. Very clean, very accommodating.
