Maria Cristina was a very organized host with a clean room to rent in a section of her home. The directions she provided to get to her house was perfect. There was an event going on in the city with a number of road closures and bus diversions and she was kind enough to provide us with details before we could ask for it. She even gave us a very helpful map of the area we lived in highlighting the essentials such as supermarket and pharmacies, as well as the the useful but not so essential places such as a good restraunt or gelateria!
Cristina is a quite, gentle lady who is very respectful of ones privacy and at the same time, managed to be there whenever we needed it. We enjoyed talking to her and wish we had more time getting to know Cristina!
I would recommend this place for those that are looking for some peace and quite outside the touristy area of Florence but still walking distance to the attractions.
