The host was not feeling well when I was there but helped as much as she could. I felt badly for her because she was in severe pain. We had a glass of wine and enjoyed a wonderful summer evening on her outdoor terrace. I learned that she knows a tremendous amount about Florence and I am sure she would make a knowledgable guide.

Everything was neat and clean and ready for me. It was noisy until the market closed however it did not bother me. The room is not air conditioned and Florence was having a heat wave which made the room very hot. It was hard to sleep. If you are use to having it cool this would not be the place for you especially in July and August.

Location was excellent---all the major sites are within walking distance.
