We stayed 5 nights in Thalia's apartment. Thalia is a VERY sweet and kind host. She made check-in very easy for us and allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment before the check-in time so that we could start to explore Florence right after we got off from the train. Thalia provided us some useful travel tips about where to go and where to eat - some real local places. Worth to mention that there's an ice cream shop which is about 1 min walk from the apartment and which is the best in Florence! The apartment is located in a residential area, 15-20mins from the train station. The apartment is very clean and the room is spacious. The DVD/CD player in the room is a bonus! Loads of great music and movies! We will for sure recommend Thalia's place to our friends!
