Words cannot describe the wonderful experience we had in Florence, not only because of the beauty, but because of our host and her accommodation. Viviana was welcoming, sweet, understanding and very helpful. She understood we were students on a budget and did her best to accommodate us. She gave us tips on where to eat, what to see and various exciting piazza's at night. She made sure to check on us to make sure we were doing okay and she was always pleasant to talk to! Even after a hot day in the city, she welcomed us in her home for a quick rest and water, even though we had checked out! Not to mention Viviana kindly offering us a ride to the station because it was scorching hot! Her husband was absolutely wonderful as well and they both made our stay an enjoyable one! Also: the accommodation was 10x better than a hotel and the pictures are definitely accurate!
