My friend and I were greeted not only with kindness, but with steaming plates of spaghetti carbonara, which was the perfect introduction to Florence. Our hosts were so generous as to share their lunch, their local tips, and their home with us. The apartment is wonderfully decorated, and we loved staying in our bed in the trees. The building is literally behind a bus stop, which makes getting into the city incredibly simple, and the space is a nice, quiet place to sleep outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.
