Everything about this place is awesome. Anna and her whole family are so kind and welcoming. I called them on my cab ride from the airport and they met me at the front door, walked me upstairs, showed me around, and pointed out on a map where the grocery store, bus stop, and walking path to my university were. Then throughout my stay Anna was easily accessible, responsive, and helpful for any questions I had. I stayed for 5 weeks while working on my dissertation at a nearby university, and I happily lived like a local during that time. Of course I was able to take the bus into the city center several times for sightseeing, dinner, etc. (which is incredibly easy to navigate). But I also just enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, exploring the market (and local vino sfuso!!), cooking at home and sitting out on the balcony staring at beautiful Fiesole in the distance. LOVED that it has a dishwasher and a washing machine! (My apartment in NY doesn't even have those things!) :) The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, friendly, and close to anything you could need. I can't wait to go back someday!! Grazie mille Anna!!
