Bred and Nadja's place was absolutely lovely! The room was just as pictured and actually even better than I expected. The entire place was spotlessly clean when I arrived. The bed is firm and comfortable. The bathroom is small by American standards but the shower was great, clean, hot, and plenty of water. The whole place has a wonderful, funky feeling and the room was nicely private. Great location, right by San Lorenzo, Mercato Centrale, and not far from Santa Maria Novella Station. The only drawback was it's a bit noisy, but you're right in the middle of the city so that's to be expected. Sadly, Bred and Nadja were out of town during my stay but their mother Maria was there to meet me and show me around and was great. Also, before my arrival Bred and Nadja gave me great suggestions of places to visit and were so helpful, especially when my flight was severely delayed. Definitely a place I would consider staying again!
