Amazing studio stay in Firenze. Words cannot how much I enjoyed every moment. My host Lucilla was responsive and proactive and arranging my arrival was very easy. She was very welcoming on arrival and gave me good recommndations. In addition Lucilla was responsive to any questions I had throughout my stay.
The place itself is a studio, compact and has everything. The neighbourhood is around 5 minutes away from where the super touristy area in Firenze begins. However Via San Gallo where I was is residential enough to have amenities such as a supermarket, laundromat, cafes, a fantastic bakery right across, and good restaurants that are less touristic but nevertheless very good. The location is in the sweet spot between the residential and touristy areas of Firenze. Although I would say most of the "residents" in the vicinity are short term visitors, students etc than actual permanently resident Italians.
Overall a great experience! I know I'll be back soon!
