Silvia's home is a gem! Her home is exactly as it is described and pictured. You will not be too far away from anything if you stay here. I always felt safe and had a lot of options for food. Silvia was always quick to communicate with me. A plus was that there is a washer in her home. I was able to do a couple of loads of laundry for the remainder of my trip in Italy. I recommend Silvia's place for anyone looking to stay in Firenze!!
