Elisabetta's home is in a nice residential area close to the center of Florence. Takes about half hour by bus to get into the center, and the bus stop and tabaccheria to buy bus tickets are just a couple of minutes walk away. The house is very clean and quiet with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. I really appreciate the filtered water and fresh fruit as other reviewers have commented. And the beds are firm! Cafes, restaurants, etc are within walking distance, and it is a safe area. Elisabetta is very kind and accommodating. I would definitely recommend.
