Liliana is a fantastic host, very helpful with instructions, directions and so easy to communicate with - she even made dinner reservations for us one evening! If your Spanish is a little better than your Italian you'll find communication a breeze in general. English will work too, but you might need a translation app on your phone.
We drove to Florence and her flat was perfect for leaving the car parked (almost a "must", really) and taking an easy 15 min bus ride to the city center (bus stop is a block away). We'd absolutely love to stay here again.
