Casa Gaya is an absolutely perfect place to stay in the Oltrarno - San Frediano district of Florence. Beautiful efficient space with a lovely little courtyard - great kitchen, working washing machine and quiet. Easy walking from there to the train station, all the sites on the Pitti palace side of the Arno, Ponte Vecchio (be sure to do the walk in the evening - through piazza Santa Carmine, Piazza Santo Spirito - so many great places to stop for a drink or a snack). Nunzia was an awesome host - she made dinner reservations for us at a great restaurant (Osteria del Pavone) for a special birthday dinner, was there to great us when we arrived, gifted us with a lovely bottle of wine and was just very gracious and accommodating. We loved it and would definitely recommend to all, plus hope to return in the future - next time in Florence.
