Christine accommodated our very last minute request and helped us with directions from the train station - a simple short bus ride. The gave us a map of the area, and directions to. A restaurant and a grocery store - we loved the prices ! This is a no touristy area of Florence, which we loved . One thing - the stairs are dark to go to her flat so have iPhone ready :) . Our room was fairly large with a large bed and another small bed. She was great, bathroom was clean , coffee and muffin morning and super host who even helped with calling the frrries for us ! Strongly recommend.
