Teresa’s home is exactly what any traveler could want. It was extremely clean, decorated with amazing antique furniture and art, and the close location to the popular sights was a godsend for our tired feet! Although it takes only seconds to reach what seemed like 100’s of restaurants this home was so quiet and peaceful at night.
Teresa greeted us when we arrived (only 4 min. walking from Santa Maria Novella train station) and it was a very easy 20 steps up to the front door. There are hall lights and railing for those who might need a few minutes to climb up but if you have traveled at all in Italy these steps are nothing compared to popular tourist spots like churches and medieval Tuscany towns.
She left us fruit and champagne, the kitchen had all the necessary items and she took the time to show us everything. She even recommended a few places to eat only steps away. We were able to do a few loads of laundry and did I mention that even the bathroom is fully stocked with plenty of things to get you by - we had everything a traveler could need and more.
I would recommend her home to anyone needing a place to stay in Florence. We cannot wait to return and you should not hesitate to book her place if it is available for your trip!
