Viola and Luca are lovely hosts, I felt very welcome in their home which, despite its proximity to the center of Florence, is lovely and quiet and very peaceful. I was quite happy walking into the center of Florence (it took about 30 minutes) but also enjoyed exploring the local neighbourhood, there's a great pizza place near by, a Co-op supermarket and a post office (important if you're old school and still send postcards), all with very friendly staff.
