Great location and Monica and her mother were wonderful hosts! Monica is very quick to respond to questions that you send and is extremely accommodating. She and her mother went out of their way to take us to park our car in a private lot so we did not have to pay for parking. The room is beautiful with very high ceiling and makes you feel like you are in a historic Italian home. It is located 10-15 walk from the Michelangelo Park and 30 minutes (easy) walk from historic downtown Florence. The walk to downtown was nice since there is a bike path that takes you along the Arno river and straight to all the touristy spots. Since it is located on the other side of the river, you get to dine and shop where the locals go. Monica recommended a great restaurant two minutes walk from the house and a gelato shop about five minutes away. You will have a great time here!
