My 2 friends and I stayed at Josephine's place and let me tell you it was a gem! The balcony alone is an amazing reason to stay here - you have a 360 view of all of Florence. The beds were really clean, comfortable and spacious and we greatly appreciated the air conditioning. It's the Oltrano neighborhood, which in my opinion was better than the city center since you're a little farther away from all the tourists. Close access to some of the best restaurants as well. I will definitely stay here again if / when I return to Florence!
