We stayed at Monica's lovely home for 3 days. It was exactly as advertised. We wish we would have had more time in Florence and when we return some day we would definitely stay at the Turtle House again. It is perfectly located, updated with all the modern conveniences you could want. It is very clean, comfortable, spacious for 2 people. She has 2 bikes that you are welcome to use. She has a nice garden in the back to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. The kitchen is equipped w everything you would need to make meals at home, but w so many wonderful restaurants nearby we did not cook. We walked everywhere and enjoyed the city. Monica is such a sweetheart and a wonderful host. She made us feel welcome and greeted us warmly and presented us w fresh fruit and wine for our stay and upon our departure she even gave us some olive oil as a gift. I wish I could have gotten to know her better because she is so nice. She is very accommodating and helped us get a taxi on the morning we left Florence. Both Monica and her husband were so kind and helpful! Love, love, loved her place! Highly recommend staying there when visiting Florence.
