Great room in an older building with high ceilings and wrought iron beds which were very comfortable. The area is mainly residential so quiet and safe. The tram is 30 metres away so you can get to the central area of Florence in 10 mins. My daughter and I chose to eat out but you are welcome to cook meals if you wish. Christine is a very responsive and helpful host and can give you lots of ideas about seeing the area depending on your interests. The other people who were also staying there at the time were also very friendly and kind. I would recommend it for a more authentic kind of stay in Florence.
