Let me start by saying that Silvia is the kindest, most attentive host ever. We couldn’t meet her because she was on vacation but that didn’t stop her from helping us in any way she could. She was available to answer the hundreds of questions we had without hesitation and very quickly, I might add. Such a sweet person! Her place was well stocked and very very clean. It’s a bit far from the tourist part of town BUT the train station and bus stop is literally a 4 minute walk from her place and it takes you right to the heart of the city! Silvia really made our trip to Florence a lot smoother with all her help. She definitely made it much more special. I highly recommend staying at her place. :)
