Mariam is an excellent host! She and her family are incredibly kind. She even provided a light breakfast, which was a most pleasant surprise. I was welcomed with a glass of wine and the views are to die for. The room is a perfect size and the bathroom is huge. The balcony area is a plus.
The bus stop is across the street from the apartment and Mariam provided a special route to take to walk to central Florence, which was a half hour, but felt like 10 minutes. Extremely safe neighborhood.
I wish I spent more time in Florence and with Mariam!
