Miriam's place is the perfect "home away from home" for a visit to Florence---a truly magnificent city. She and her husband are architects, and have remodeled their place with impeccable taste. The guest room is large, with a dressing room, bathroom, it's own tiny extra room up a staircase, and a balcony ! There are books, gorgeous Persian carpets everywhere, and beautiful art. Miriam provides a nice breakfast, and she, Doli, and their daughter Leila are very helpful with information about the city and anything else you need. The entire family are exceptional hosts, and it was an honor to stay with them---I was there for a week and loved every minute.
