Although staying in a room in someone’s house isn’t common, I had a great experience doing it. I would recommend Laura’s Airbnb to anybody who wants to visit Florence for a while. The location is less than 20 minutes away from everything in the city, and there is a bus stop right next to the house. The room was clean and had good privacy. If you can not speak Italian you will have to use a translation app to communicate a few things but I had no issues talking or asking questions. This is a great place to stay!
