We stayed at Thalia for a week. The room was really cosy and comfortable and the private garden is a nice addition. The location is great - calm neighborhood close to the center and the railstation. The best thing about this place is the host. Thalia is a very warm person that is always willng to help and provide very valuable information about Florence - places to see, restaurants, etc. We couldn't have asked for more. Thalia also contributes to developing alternative ways to explore the city with Urban Treks. If you want to get in touch with the local culture and visit places hidden for the typical tourist, we highly recommend staying with Thalia!
