Thalia was a lovely host. As soon as we arrived, she was ready to help us get our itinerary ready for the upcoming days in Florence. Her recommendations were insightful - best gelato right across the street from her place! She certainly wants her guests to obtain the local, not touristic, experience. Her home is lovely, a 15 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella Station, and the room was perfect for the nights when we came home exhausted from walking around all day. Grazie mille Thalia!
