As a family of 5 travelling around a lot we often find it hard to find a place that fits us all comfortably while at the same time being budget friendly. Having two bedrooms and on two different levels was great. We put the kids all upstairs and my wife and I slept on the main level. This allowed us to be up in the evening without disturbing the kids while they slept.
Francesco and his family were all great hosts. So easy to communicate with and so friendly. I forgot my wallet at one of the Gelato shops in the area and Francesco walked back with me (a couple hors later once I realized) and took care of everything for me and I was lucky enough to get it back. They all were so quick to offer help with whatever was needed.
The area was really great as well. Out of the main central area a bit but within walking distance or a quick bus ride (on the 22 or 23) with the bus stop just across the street. All the local shops within a 3 min walking distance provided everything we needed over the 10 days we were there. There is a small grocery store (Conad), a couple of fruit and veggie shops, a pharmacy, bakery, a couple of bars, convenience type stores, kebab shop, pizza shop and the most amazing local restaurant (Ristorante Pizzeria San Jacopino).
Having been to Florence a couple times before I'd say this was the best overall stay. Having the central courtyard away from the street and traffic and noise really made you feel like you were out of the city while in your suite. Then just being able to walk out of the building and be back in the local mix of things was the perfect combination.
