Irene’s place is in a great location, further away from all of the touristy spots but close enough so you can easily walk to anything within 15 min. Irene also provided a great list of recommended restaurants and tips for travelers to avoid, we went to several of these and enjoyed the dinners very much. On the weekend you’ll need reservations for most places. The bed was large and comfortable and AC worked great. A bit tight in places but great value for the price and location. There was a bit of stair climbing with heavy luggage but this is all over Florence so we managed.
