We enjoyed our stay at Chiara’s space.
The location: safe neighborhood. Very close to the bus stop. Good Pizza Shop by the bus stop. Cute park nearby. A gas station around the corner if you’re driving a car.
The space: on the first floor. cozy and very clean. Kitchen was good. Ask Chiara how to use the washing machine if you need it. It isn’t tricky, but there is a learning curve. Bathroom is nice and clean. Shower is a little small with a shower head that sprays everywhere, so be careful. Bed is a pull out on the couch, which of course isn’t the most comfortable, but the pillows were which makes a huge difference.

The host: very helpful and informational. She provided a lovely binder of local restaurants and shops. She was very nice.
One issue: I marked 3 stars on value for a specific reason. The room is of course very reasonably priced, but if you travel by car there isn’t any place to park it. There is a very near by car park, but it cost us a Euro an hour to keep it there. And we were there for two nights, so it added up. The meter didn’t provide any reduced prices for longer stays, so we found this a little annoying.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others looking for a good place to rest your head while exploring Florence.
