2 days before my visit in Florence, Vera has sent me a message asking at what time will I arrive. Right after she knew at what hour I will appear she gave me exact instructions on how to reach her appartment. It's located quite centrally in the city, really close to Firenze SMN station and just a little bit further from historical centre.
When I arrived she told me a bit about herself and guided me to the room. It's a big room with a balcony that has a view over the main street. It's crowded and busy all day but due to double door the room was very quiet. There's also air conditioning in the room. You also get your own bathroom for the stay time. In fact you first enter the bathroom in order to get to the room.
Vera was very helpful. When I asked if I could borrow her iron for a minute in order to refresh my shirts (I was visiting for one of the trade fairs) she had no problem with that.
It would've been a perfect staying place if it wasn't for the fact that breakfast is not provided and that you cannot use the kitchen because some special license is needed in order to let visitors from abroad use it.
Still it was a fantastic experience and I had good time there. For me it was better to sleep with balcony door slightly open rather than with air conditioning working all night.
If you decide to stay at Vera place, you won't regret it.
