I had a wonderful stay in Florence! Beatrice was very helpful with tips about places to go for food, laundry etc. and the space was super clean and the perfect size for a solo traveler! The neighborhood was very safe and and it was easy to get around on foot to anywhere I wanted to go. There is a great Irish pub around the corner where the staff and regulars made me feel right at home.
The stairs up are not as bad as a few people said. Its a small hike but compared with the amount of walking you will do around the city it's nothing.
I very much recommend this spot and will try to return if I ever make my way to Florence again!
