Marion is a very responsive host. She goes the extra mile to ensure your stay is not only comfortable but well-informed. She knows the area and provides many good recommendations. One thing that turned out to be a godsend for my trip is that her place is just beyond the perimeter of the "no drive zone" (ZTL)--a restriction on cars entering the city during certain time periods as posted on electronic boards. Her place allowed me to park (in a secure garage for free) and then easily walk to Florence. Highly recommend!
