Piera was a wonderful host. She lives next door so she was there to greet us when we arrived. We do not speak Italian but she had someone there to translate for us. She was also very gracious when I confused the check out time with another place that we stayed at. She’s very accommodating.
Her place is very close to the train and the market is directly on the street. We were a 15 minute walk from some of the best restaurants and tourist sights in Florence. Even though we were close to the street it was very quiet.
One caveat of the place, the second floor is very small. If you are taller than 5’9, you will not be able to stand in the loft area or the bathroom.
