Living in Florence in Irene's place was a dream. I stayed for a month and came as a student for my online exam period. From the beginning she made me feel at home. Did a lot more for me, way more than any Airbnb host ever had. From picking me up from the airport, the train station and little acts of kindness everyday. I wanted to improve my Italian and Irene was the best to practice, really really patient to have conversations with me even when I kept tripping in words. The area is really nice, a nice walk by the Arno to get to the hearth of Florence, but it's nice and quiet. There are two wonderful cats in the house, they were a fantastic company through my exam period. I'm happy to recommend staying here, specially for animal lovers. The cats are the sweetest!
