Silvia's home could not be in a better location for exploring Florence. It is right in the centre, extremely close to to the Duomo and the Galleria dell'Accademia and pretty much everything else. I did not use public transport once during my stay because everything was within walking distance. Silvia and her family were very welcoming and invited me to share dinner with them on a number of occasions. The room is comfortable, cosy and private enough that you have your own space to relax. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone that is contemplating it.
