We had an amazing time in Florence (in the super lovely San Frediano neighbourhood) and Valentina's place was perfect - felt very Wes Anderson-esque! So many great restaurants within a 5 minute walk and we spent most of our time the south side of the river rather than battle the tourists nearer the centre. If you want to see Florence, but feel more like a local, this is a perfect spot. Couldn't recommend this place enough!
