Thalia's home is removed from the hoards and the confusion of central Florence while still being a reasonable walking distance from the "main sights" .
If you are looking for full on privacy or plan on spending a lot of time in your airbnb hanging out or cooking on your own, this may not be the ideal spot for you, as you will be staying in a room within the home and possibly sharing a bathroom with other boarders. That said, my husband and I were very comfortable in the space and I think that if you are visiting Florence for just a few days, you would be outside exploring and not stuck inside! If the weather had been better, we would have sat in the garden which we had access to through patio doors from our room. The room was cozy, clean and quiet and the price was right!
Thalia was a gracious host and gave us a hand drawn map highlighting many off the beaten path things to do and see in the city.
