Thalia is a very obliging hostess. She supplied us with a lot of helpful information about Florence. The apartment is very cosy and nice, the garden is a great oasis of green, although unfortunately we had a lot of rain these days. The walking distance to the old city center is about 15 minutes, but it would have been even shorter if there was no construction site. Very recommendable is the little bar just at the next corner with excellent caffe and cornetto. We felt very welcome at Thalias home. You can ask her at almost any time if you need something and she is always keeps friendly and patient. Thanks a lot Thalia...
