This location is fantastic! The bell tower at Santa Croce makes for a good landmark when trying to orient yourself around the city. Claudia made us feel welcome with gigantic towels and use of her kitchen and porch, which provides a picturesque view of Florence. We sat out one evening and could hear someone practicing flute nearby--absolutely idyllic. As a hostess, she is warm and friendly, available to chat about places to have an aperitif or dinner. Highly recommend staying with Claudia on your next trip to Florence!
