Modi’s place is really a gem. Beds are comfortable and the one in the loft makes you feel like you are staying in a treehouse. I love the vibe of the “oltrarno” area (other side of the river). Buzzing, quite a bit of tourists, still close to the must-see Florence sites, but with the more relaxed vibe of the Santo Spirito area. Hang out in the town square and after awhile you start bumping into the same people day after day. It’s a good feeling.
