What a wonderful place to stay in Florence! The host (Claudia's sister) was very welcoming. The place is charming, very clean and very spacious - 2 separate bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, new kitchen and dining area. Everything looks just like in the pictures. Claudia's sister showed us places to visit and mapped out our itinerary. She also suggested to visit Marketto (which is 2 min walk on the same street) - not to be missed! This is where you can get a great meal and a taste of local charm. The top floor is open 10am-12 am. We went there the same night when we checked in around 10 pm. It was so much fun for us and the kids. Local vendors with freshly made pasta, pizza, wine, etc. Cheap, very tasty and a great relaxing experience. In the morning, there is a flea market on the same street, but the noise did not bother us much as we were beat up from traveling anyway. The location is perfect for visiting all the main attractions: the Cathedral is 5 min walk, train station is a close walk and that is where all the guided tour buses routes start. Great place, great hosts - thank you!
