Rita's home was AMAZING!! VERY roomy. Excellent kitchen, bigger than most. Very close to the grocery store which was convenient since my daughter and I cooked a lot to save money. Great location. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have a spacious home to stay in. Large bedrooms, VERY comfortable king size bed, large dining area and 2 separate living areas.
The liason who met us, because Rita was away on business, spoke, both fluent Italian and English which was beyond helpful. We had to be at the train station and rhere happened to be a fashion show so all if the taxis were b booked. Her friend, Richard, met my daughter and me and helped us wirh our heavy luggage to the bus pickup. We had accidentally washed our bus passes and he used his for the three of us. He actually took us to the train station and waited wirh us until our train arrived, then helped us find the train car we were supposed to be on. He was of TREMENDOUS help.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Florence and it was all because if Rita's home, her communication wirh us, and Richard.
EXCELLENT host!!!
