Caterina's home is in a perfect location, less than a block away from Duomo. We loved staying at her home with all the amenities you'd have in your own home. Loved the high ceilings, and neat apartment. Even before we arrived, we received a booklet with all the info you need, a local guide book. While she doesn't speak English well and I don't know much Italian, she is so sweet and we had no problem communicating and understanding each other. If needed, her son is always willing to jump in and help and his English is very good. He was even kind enough to book a taxi for us to take to SMN Station this morning when we departed. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to find a very family friendly home in middle of Florence. Thank you for a wonderful stay and sharing your home Caterina!
