Valeria (+boarder+son+dog) is a friendly host who makes you feel welcome in her home. The room is clean and comfortable, overlooking the street outside. Noise isn't a problem as it's residential. The No. 6 bus which takes you to town (10-15 min.) Is a couple of minutes walk. There are two large supermarkets within a five minute walk. Florence is hot in summer but he room wasn't too bad. The price is excellent compared to what you normally pay in crowded Florence. Recommended.
