Spent a couple nights at Tina's place and I would recommend her place. Tina is a very friendly and communicative host. I did not meet her in person as she was away during my stay, but a friend was there for greeting and check-in. Tina provided helpful recommendations for places to eat in the neighbourhood. The apartment is conveniently located within a short walk from the train station and also short walk to the main sights, on a quiet side street. Be prepared for the three flights of stairs if carrying heavy luggage, but this is pretty common in the area. The room was welcoming with a comfortable bed and air conditioning. The kitchen is also well appointed and bright, although I did not have a chance to use it. The washroom which is shared with a couple other rooms was comfortable (it does have separate toilet and sink-shower rooms). Probably the highlight of this space were the views of the Duomo from the rooftop terrace, which are just unbeatable! Tina, thanks again for an authentic stay in beautiful Florence!
