I cannot speak highly enough of Angela as a host. She is the most welcoming and generous person. Even though I speak limited Italian, we had no problems with communication. She was interested in talking about my visit to Florence, having a genuine interest in what I had planned and gave suggestions of her own, but also respected my privacy when desired. Her home is warm and cozy with a large, comfy bed and an inviting breakfast table. Her hospitality is above and beyond what I expected. Her home is very close to the bus (20min to downtown), 10min walk to the train (15min to downtown), and about 35min on foot from city center. Though walking isn't my first choice for transportation, the buses and train do stop at some point and I wanted to stay out later. The walk was quite pleasant and I felt completely safe. If you are traveling to Florence and want an amazing place to stay, look no further than Angela's home.
