If you need a place to stay in Florence, Mariam's place is for you. It is conveniently located and the bus stop, bank, supermarket, laundramat, pizzeria etc. are within 5 minutes walking distance. The room was clean with good wireless connection and A/C. It is completely private with an additional small bed for a child in a loft area. And the balcony is the best. After roaming the tourist areas, I had a great time sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine and some good cheese that I bought at the super market.
Mariam and her husband were very helpful and kind hosts, and made me feel welcome in their home. She also made me breakfast in the morning. Wow !
