There was something really special about Stefania’s place. She lives there, so it had an enormous amount of charm and personality. She had everything you could ever need in a home, and the place itself is very comfortable and stylish. She left us a map where she graciously gave us plenty of suggestions about the area in regards to food and entertainment. She gave us a tip we used for our whole Italy trip - look for the word “osteria”! The location is truly ideal.. a 20 minute walk to the center of Florence where all the sights are (the duomo, ponte vecchio, etc) and tons of shops/restaurants. There were also many lively bars right around the corner, but the street itself is quiet and away from the busyness. We also never had a hard time getting a cab from this area - an extremely useful feature! We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely stay again when back in beautiful Firenze!
