A lovely home with a private garden was so calming! This home was very comfortable and charming too. It was just the right size for my husband and I. He appreciated the coffee and coffeemakers. I'm a tea drinker and appreciated the electric kettle. The kitchen was well stocked, making it very easy to fix our breakfast meals there since we stayed a week. And of course a short walk to wonderful Italian cuisine and gelato cafes. We didn't need to make any reservations as Gabriele had suggested. The location of 98 Guelfa is perfectly situated. We walked every day or evening all over the historical center of Florence. Being there in August, we appreciated the good air conditioners and a washing machine which was easy to use. The bed/ pillows and the couch were very comfortable. It was fun to be able to use Chromecast in Italy just like we do in Virginia. These may seem like small things, but are important amenities when staying a week. Wish we could have met the hostess, but understood she was busy. Her assistant let us into the apartment after our very short walk from the train station. He gave us the keys, good tips and Chiara had lots of explanations and tips in an instruction booklet on the table.
