Rita's homestay was very welcoming and an ideal location for anyone coming to Florence. Less than 10 minutes from the main Florence train station, close to the leather market (real leather bags, belts and jackets) and massive food hall and the main attractions of Florence. Highly recommended for those visiting the city. Located on a quiet street but close enough to the main hub. Rita was very responsive to emails and even gave suggestions of tours to do while on our 3/4 day trip. The apartment was spacious and had a fridge and cooking facilities although we ate out for all of our meals (but was handy to store water). There were enough comfortable beds for all 4 in our party and 2 modern bathrooms with showering facilities.
Definitely reccomended for anyone looking for a convenient location and ease for an apartment to stay while touring Florence and the surrounding area.
