Mariam’s place is so cozy and homey and the view from the terrace is beautiful! It’s so nice to sit out there and take in the fact that you’re in Florence! The bus is right across the street and will take you to the center in about 20 minutes, but you may have to wait for it. The buses in Florence always have a decent wait (10-20 mins) unless you’re lucky to catch it just in time.
I didn’t see too many restaurants/cafes around the house…but you can get food in the center before coming back home :)
