Federica was a great host, timely in her responses and understanding of travelers needs—allowing me to check in early and stow my bag for the day so I could explore the city. While I knew it was not in the heart of Florence when I booked, it was a bit further than I’d imagined and not the easiest/most efficient location bus or train wise, I mainly walked and that ultimately worked fine. Nice quiet and clean place to sleep and call home base.
