Vanna’s place was perfect for our 9-night stay. Her place was very easy to get to from the Santa Maria Novella train station. There are many good restaurants in the area. Right near her place is a street called Borgo La Croce which becomes lively on weekend nights if you’re looking for a more authentic Italian experience. Nearby are several laundromats, a grocery store, and an OVS. Her place was also conveniently located to the Campo di Marte train station, which we used to go to Cinque Terre at the end of our stay. The apartment was beautifully decorated and having the air conditioner was refreshing after a long day of touring Florence. Vanna was so sweet and made us feel very welcome. I would really recommend her place for your stay in Florence!
