We (2 adults and 3 young children) stayed at Lucia’s place for 3 nights in late June 2015. Lucia was gone most of that weekend but her daughter, Chiara, took great care of us. She was very nice and accommodating. Overall, we had a pleasant stay there. It was a bit of a challenge locating the house first but OK after that. The house is fairly similar to the pictures (maybe a bit more dated now). We did not get to use the outside area as much as we thought we would (it was very hot). Our biggest issue there was getting into Florence center as we did not use the metro as Chiara had suggested (it would be a 10 minute drive to metro station). Instead, we drove to Ponte Romana and tried to find parking there and had to walk about 1.5 Km into town and this was hard with a 7 year old (took a taxi one night to just get to our car). The house itself is fine (fairly rustic) .
