Staying here was great! The location is pretty close to the main area in Florence, no more than a 20 minute walk, and the room was very nice and open! Simone was a great host and had a list of things to see in Florence and made several suggestions for us! He also let me use his washing machine which was a life saver! Overall staying here was great and I would highly recommend staying here! Be warned though that he does live at the top floor which is 75 stairs above ground! But he helped us with our luggage which made it much more manageable! To make up for this though is a great place to get gelato a block away and a great and inexpensive restaurant around the corner! :)
