I really enjoyed my stay at Stefanie's place. It is conveniently located right outside of all of the touristy places in Florence, so you get quite and laid back vibe of a local neighborhood while still being within walking distance from the main attractions of the city. Also, if you have a car, you don't have to get a ZTL permit. Bottom line -- great location, privacy, excellent local tips..what more do you need! Stefanie and her husband are very laid back and accommodating, full of local tips and suggestions, if you want those. Would definitely come back!
