Neighborhood: We walked from the Campo Marte station to Alice's house on our arrival and it was an easy path to navigate. Even if you have big luggage, the distance is certainly walk-able and the side-walks are properly laid out all the way to Alice's place. The neighborhood is very close to a semi-arterial road (via Gioberti) that has a lot of shops and very good restaurants. Il Vecchio e il Mare has exquisite seafood! We loved Caffe Serafini for breakfast. Getting to the old city of Firenze is very convenient from Alice's place. It's about a 10-minute walk and you're there!
Alice's place: it's cozy, comfortable and very clean. Our bed was big and very comfortable. The interior of the house is lovely and it has some beautiful old paintings. Alice had a spread of fruit, biscuits and tea laid out for us as snacks. That was very thoughtful of Alice. The house has a cute little balcony overlooking their neighbor's lovely garden. It was full of roses when we were there and was such a pleasant sight in the mornings.
Alice and Fabio are gracious hosts and made sure that our stay at their home was very comfortable.
