Tina is a wonderful host and gave very clear instructions on how to get to her place. She met us at the house when we arrived and showed us around. Her house is very well situated to see everything in Florence, it is all within walking distance, yet is in a real florentine neighbourhood.
The weather was extremely hot during our 3 day stay, but tina's house was nice and cool due to it being such an old building, so it was a nice relief to come back to after being outside.
It is very well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. We arrived back after a day of sightseeing to a lovely note and some fresh croissants from Tina on our doorstep, that was very thoughtful.
Overall I think this is a great base for florence.
