The room in which I stayed has air conditioning, the beds were good, so I slept even better than I do at home in these summer temperatures. My room was at the back with a nice little balcony that overlooked the gardens and balconies of the houses. It was a nice view, very Italian. Cristina welcomed me when I arrived. She was really kind and attentive. At the date of my arrival, I told her I had a wedding the next day. She knew there was a big event happining and that it might be difficult to reserve a taxi. So she offered to call a taxi for me, which was really helpful, because I had no idea how to pronounce the names of the street in a way that Italian taxi drivers would've understood. (Unfortunately, the taxi's didn't take any reservations though. Christina, however, really tried to find a way of ensuring that I'd arrive at the wedding in time the next way. In the end I found out myself: there is It taxi, which kind of resembles Uber. Nevertheless, Cristina's help felt very comforting. The house has 4 rooms on the first floor which you can reserve via Airbnb. The two shared bathrooms were very clean and I got three towels that I could use during my stay. In the bathroom shower gel and shampoo were provided, so that saved some space in my suitcase ;-) When you're in your room and you're awake, you do hear the other doors on the same floor when they open or close, but not in a way that's disturbing or that will wake you from your sleep. The house is quite old (very characteristic), and so is some of the furniture (dark brown, also characteristic I think) so the wooden doors of the closets are a bit sticky. However, I found that charming. It was really relaxed that you can use the kitchen. Since Christina doesn't live in the house herself 7 days a week, the kitchen is usually unoccupied. There is enough space to store some groceries and drinks and there space on the cupboard to store food. Every morning, I prepared breakfast in the kitchen and then went to sit in the garden to enjoy the pretty garden, the weather, and my breakfast. About 100 meters further up the street, there's a supermarket and a pastry shop. I was really happy with these, because I have gluten free and lactose free diet, and surprisingly, the pastry shop had lots of gluten free breads and other nice food. I travelled on my own. As a women, it can be that you sometimes don't feel safe at night. In this neighborhood I felt perfectly safe, even late in the evening. You can walk to the city centre (about 30 minutes), or you can take a bus (about 10 minutes, it costs €1,20). The bus stop is just a 1 minute walk from the house. If I'm ever visiting Florence again, I...
