Olivia made me feel at home for the month that I stayed with her. She introduced me any time her family or friends stopped by. It was nice to have a private room and access to the kitchen where she made space for my groceries. The bathroom was also mostly private. I really enjoyed the property and the view Olivia showed me from the top of the hill. Because I stayed for almost a month, Olivia was very kind in sharing her TV (with cable!) Her son was rude at times, not too often, but he is young and often out. I also loved her dog, a large Boxer. The house is about 15 minutes walking to anything you would like to see while in Florence and when I went out at night Olivia let me borrow her bike to ensure a safe return. I am truly grateful for her hospitality during my stay in Florence.
