I spent Christmas here with 2 friends - it is a spectacular old house full of books and art, the perfect setting to enjoy Florence. It is in a peaceful and atmospheric residential area with lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby. We walked into the main part of town very easily, and you can reach it from the train station in less than 10 minutes on the bus. Bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom were all very comfortable - the kitchen was very well stocked for cooking our Christmas feast. It did get a little chilly and we could not adjust the heating. Other than that it was perfect, and our hosts were very kind.
