We really liked our stay at Christine’s place! We didnt meet Christine as she was on vacation, but her friend welcomed us and was easily accessible. The location was great, accessible by public transport and walkable from santa maria novella train station! The room was big and balcony was charming. You really fet the feeling of a « real » italian appartment. Just be prepare to share the commun space with many people as there is quite a few rooms. When the appartment is full, the share bathroom can become slightly crowded.
