Sara's place was unusual and beautiful. I believe her father, a sculptor, once lived in it. It is full of lovely art - paintings and sculpture. It has a lived in and rustic ambience. The furniture was wonderfully antique. One felt a resident of Florence. The walk from the train station took about 15-20 minutes. Most of Florence's attractions were about a 20 minute walk away. There was a wonderful bakery nearby, as well as a Carrefour grocery store. While there was no airconditioning, and the Florentine summer was warm, there were welcome table fans. The bathroom was very clean and well supplied with towels. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils. I would certainly stay here again.
