I loved staying at this listing, it was one of my favorite places! Barbara's husband was able to check us in and met us outside. I thought that it would be noisy considering how close it is to all the sites but it was VERY quiet inside. Filippo was so nice and helpful. He messaged me before my arrival to give me instructions (even though he claims his English is not good he's very clear in communication.. he's better than he thinks!) I would say that he has been one of the most caring, thorough hosts that I've stayed with. I highly recommend to anyone coming to Florence to stay with these hosts.
