lovely spot about a 25-30 min walk (great exercise) from the city centre. There are also regular buses into the city centre 2-3 mins away from the building. The location meant that it was close enough to the city to be easily walkable, but far enough away so that it was lovely and quiet in the evenings and mornings.
Eleanora was really great and greeted me on my check in to show me every aspect of the place. She has compiled a little guidebook showing a list of great local restaurants in the city centre and in the local area, which as a first time traveller to Florence I really appreciated (get to avoid the tourist traps!).
She even stocked the fridge with a few little bits and pieces to keep me going on arrival, which was a lovely touch.
The place itself was spacious and clean, and there was a lovely little terrace area just outside the bedroom which had a lovely view of the surrounding area, perfect for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
