We had a wonderful stay at Irene’s beautiful place! It is located walking distance to the Duomo, in a cute, relatively quiet neighborhood. Irene was very helpful, accommodated our earlier arrival time and check out time, and gave us great suggestions in Florence. She recommended Bar La Pergola (which is right on the same street as Irene’s place), which is a cafe/restaurant/bar offering some of the best Italian food, coffee, wine, and pastries we had on our entire trip in Italy. The food is fresh, delicious, and affordable. We highly recommend staying at Irene’s and visiting Bar La Pergola. Irene also gave us a map of Florence when we checked in, and was very friendly answering any questions and showing us where certain things were located on the map. Her place was clean and stylish, and we look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you Irene!
