Me and my boyfriend stayed at Silvia’s place for two nights. The location is OK considering it is outside of the city center but it has one bus stop for bus 14 just outside the door and this bus connects you to the center in no time. Also, it is just 3min walking from a train station that we used to leave Florence. The room is not very private as there is no door – it is a closed sided loft and the atmosphere might not be the best if you are extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke. We had a little problem with mosquitoes the first night but Silvia is very nice and she helped us with it providing an electrical anti-mosquito thing that worked just fine. She also offered coffee and helped with a plug adapter that we needed. She wants to make sure that you are comfortable and wants to help you if you need.
