We had a great experience. Monia was very nice and accommodating. Although she works from home we often felt like we had the apartment to ourselves. She made the home completely available and even allowed us to do our laundry and cook. She made space for us in the fridge and never made us feel like we were imposing. I personally loved the decor. It was chic, a mix of modern and vintage with a slight feminine touch. Although a bit of a walk from the train station there are two buses that drop your right around the corner and can get you to the center in 10 minutes. There is also a great grocery store of suburban proportion around the corner. Florence was lovely. Monia had some great food suggestions for Via dei Neri and Piazza San Spirito. When we arrived Monia offered us cool water and great conversation. The room is incredibly spacious, specially when compared to other places we have stayed in Italy where homes tend to run much smaller. There is also an amazing gelato place nearby called Gelateria de Medici.
