Barbara’s home was lovely and spacious for our travel group of 4. We used the home as a base to explore Florence. It was a quick and convenient location just outside the center of town. We used the local bus several times as the bus stop was just 2 blocks away. There are stores walking distance and a lot of restaurants including a convenient pizza shop and small grocery store. The shower was hot and the kitchen had the essentials. Be prepared for the mosquitos tho, which was unexpected for the time of year we visited. Other than that, we had a great time in Florence and Barbara’s home definitely added to our wonderful experience. Thank you!
