The Turtle House is in the perfect location in Florence. Just a short walk over the bridge to the hustle bustle of the new city, and in a great spot for local restaurants, bars, gelateria and a small supermarket. Monica offered to meet us at the bus but we caught a taxi and she was waiting on the street with a lovely welcome. The apartment is gorgeous. Everything you could need for a short stay. Even though Monica and her husband live in the house above we had all the privacy we needed and access to the garden and she was close by for any thing we required. She allowed us to leave our bags on checkout and offered to arrange a taxi. There were bikes available for us to use but everything is within walking distance. It was everything we expectd from the air Bnb site. I would definitely recommend Monicas Turtle House and would stay there again if im lucky enough to come back to Florence
