Fiamma's place was a good retreat from all the busy hustle-and-bustle of city tourism. Fiamma was very welcoming when we first arrived. She gave us a lot of information on how to get around, things to do and places to explore. Boboli Garden was within walking
distance. Our Hop-On, Hop-Off bus stop was just down the hill from her place. Busses were easily accessible. Found a cafe not too far with vegan options--so good. The room we stayed in is on the street side and can get very loud from the cars whizzing by, people yelling as they passed, and even screaming cats, so better get the ear plugs ready. The room got pretty warm in the summer evenings too, so we kept the windows open at night (the fan in the room didn't work), which resulted in us waking up daily with mosquito bites. I think if we were prepared with insect repellent or lotion, it would have made our stay even better (Fiamma gave us a plug-in that was supposed to deter mosquitoes--not sure it was very effective). We had the bathroom to ourselves, and Fiamma provided us with bottled water, coffee and crackers in the room. The room was cute and the beds were comfy. The hike up the hill (with luggage) on the first day to reach her place was challenging, but we got used to it quickly after. Fiamma was always quick to respond.
