Valeria's place is a little gem in Florence, especially for a single traveler. The location is just perfect, a few steps away from the very scenic river, next to a nice piazza and park, super easy to walk anywhere and the area felt really safe too. The SMN station is an easy (and wonderful) 10-15 mins walk away. You can also get there with local buses, the stops are just steps away. The unit itself is really nice, very well decorated and clean. You basically get your own little loft studio, with all the privacy that you need, while Valeria and her family are just next door if you ever need their help. I was lucky enough to meet Valeria and her super sweet mother, Lucrezia. They provided me with fresh fruits, took the time to give me the best recommendations for food and sightseeing around Florence. Ask for some tips to get to the nearby gelateria as well as about La Murate - totally worth the effort. Lucrezia even helped me get to the bus station when I was leaving. I was lucky enough to have found Valeria's place. Totally made my Florence experience a very wonderful one.
