This was our first stay in a private room sharing an apartment with other guests, and it was a great experience, thankfully. We bonded with another guest in particular and made a new friend while we enjoyed our time and conversation amongst the other guests as well. Alice was kind enough to help us with our check in and make special arrangements for us so we were not stuck waiting with bags in the streets just off the train from Rome for very long. She was very helpful marking spots of interest and recommended establishments nearby on a map that she provided, for which there were many. We met her sweet dog and it seems that she has a kind heart and is a gentle soul. Our room was comfortable and a oscillating fan was available to be used if we ever were uncomfortably warm (I don’t think there was any AC). Fortunately, the weather was extremely pleasant during our stay, here. Perfect really. Room was close by (just a block over) from a main drag of shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, markets and pharmacies so it was an excellent, convenient location. However, it was far enough to where it felt secluded and quaint. Buses were within walking distance and especially the C2 bus from the train station (although we mostly walked everywhere). The bath, though shared, was not an issue. It was clean, well lit, provided a toilet and bidet and the shower was hot and adequate. The Wi-Fi worked decently for us. We felt so welcomed and loved our stay at Alice’s place. We would definitely stay again when visiting Florence.
