Monia's apartment is beautifully light and the room has a comfortable bed and large window. It is on the second floor with quite narrow stairs so I wouldn't advise bringing gigantic luggage but small hand luggage cases were fine. She is very open to letting you use her kitchen to make meals as long as you clean up afterwards. As Monia is at work/ living her life, the apartment does feel very much your own and you have a lot of freedom to come and go as you please... We found this aspect very suited to us but also felt her extreme lack of presence in her own home a little disconcerting. We had a small problem with balancing the air coming into our room while not being infested with mosquitoes as there wasn't any nets over the windows...We ended up with a lot of bites as we decided we needed the fresh air. The key aspects of the apartment were that it is only 10 minutes from the centre of Firenze by bus, the room was great but just a little warm and without nets and there is a small kitchen that is fine for the pasta dishes I managed to create. I would return to Monia's if I went back to Firenze.
