I tend to have mixed feelings about this place, but overall, I give it all the stars: to the place, and to the host. A-To the place: it is ample, light, and airy, with a great feeling of being home (all this in spite of a quirky, but totally functional, bathroom). The big dining table at the center is a huge plus; it’s very welcoming as well as functional —for eating, working, planning and spreading maps. There’s no T.V., but even for us T.V. junkies that was absolutely no issue. And B- To the host: when an issue came up, Modestino was right there to take care of it, practically within minutes. I am very grateful for this. And, about the neighborhood: 5 stars plus! It took us just a little longer to get back in the evenings, but it was totally worthwhile. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, it’s practically non-touristy —no crowds as on the other side of the Arno. Bars /Coffee a few steps away, smart, subdued restaurants also nearby (example, El Arte de Dory on Via Seragli, around the corner). Again, excellent place to stay, excellent host, and excellent neighborhood! And, well, there’s all of Firenze!!
