This is the place. The proximity to the highlights of Florence cannot be beat-it is close but it's also quiet! Uffizi is a 3 minute walk, dozens of tasty restaurants right around the corner, and it's right on the river so you can easily explore both sides of town. The courtyard provides a shady and mystical place to relax and read beneath the trees. The interior is very comfortable, there are multiple couches to relax on, a small kitchen with a fridge and stove, a bathroom that was the perfect size for my husband and I, and a beautiful bedroom with large windows and an excellent AC unit. The bedroom and bathroom are the only rooms with windows which means it can be dark inside, but that felt important to us because it was very hot outside. The wifi works very well and the hot water is perfect. But, the BEST part of this stay are the hosts, Dave and Helen. They were extremely communicative and accommodating to our needs, they answered all of our questions quickly and gave us many excellent recommendations. We felt truly welcome and we cannot wait to go back!
