Mariam was very welcoming when we arrived, even providing a glass of wine and crackers. The description is very accurate to what we received. Her breakfast spread is authentic, and tasty. The neighborhood is gorgeous, just outside of the city but still very walk-able to all the essential attractions and some great food. The view from the personal terrace is stunning, as are most of the views in Florence. The room is very spacious and has a small bunk room above, a changing room and bathroom. Her description matches what we received exactly.
