We had a great stay here. The area is safe and the property is amazing. Erika lives in a building on the grounds close to this one. Communication was great. If you arrive by car make sure you have a specified meeting time with Erika as the house does not really have a place to pull over and is on a small one way street. The house is pretty far from downtown Florence but we walked there and back in one day to explore and it was manageable. The house is also very damp. This would be a fantastic place to stay on the summer.
