This place is absolutely beautiful! On the river in Florence, it is within walking distance to the main square where you will find designer shops, food, gelato and the museum. It is a lively and safe area. Giovanna does not speak English but we used google translate, or I tried to listen for the words I knew. The bathroom is shared but it was always free, even with other guests in the house. It is clean, comfortable and spacious! I recommend anyone to stay here. It’s worth every cent!
