The house in in the southern side of Arno, not in the touristic area but very near from the center (30 minutes walking) and with lots of public transport connections. In my view, this side of the river is better than the other: it is more "real" not crowded at all and full of nice bars and restaurants if you like to enjoy like a "fiorentino" without struggling to get a reservation and pay lots of money for a menu that does not diserve what it costs. The house is OK although only if you plan just to come back to sleep after visiting the city because it does not have a good living room to share with friends of family (it has three big rooms and one can be "transformed" into a small living ....). Things change if you travel in spring or summer because the backyard is very nice to share a good time with friends but WE travelled in winter and it was really cold (no way). Sonia is always prepared to attend you during the whole process and gave us all the information we needed. Really an awesome host.
