We stayed with Mariam and her family for 3 nights and it was amazing. The area of the home was spacious and provided a lot of privacy. Mariam and her husband were so helpful with maps and information on how to get around the city- it was so easy to get around the city by foot and by bus using the detailed maps they provided. They offered recommendations for local restaurants and they were amazing! Mariam noted it was my birthday from my passport and surprised me with a cake the morning before we left! If we ever go back to Florence we will be looking to stay here again!!
