My daughter was studying abroad in Florence for a semester and upon her arrival, had an unsafe roommate situation that necessitated her finding alternative housing quickly. I quickly turned to Airbnb as we are Airbnb hosts and I feel like we were meant to connect with Ingrid. Not only was she very responsive and empathic to my daughter's situation during our initial communication, but she also completely opened her home to my daughter during the entire semester, treating my daughter as a member of her family.

Ingrid and her husband are very warm and welcoming hosts in addition to being wonderful human beings. Ingrid invited her to dinners with their local friends, gave her tips for traveling (Ingrid is an art history tour guide for the museums) and both she and her husband made my daughter feel so welcome and safe.
The listing is for a private room and a private bathroom in their home. It is a great place to stay for single women travelers who value coming home at night to responsible hosts. Ingrid has a friendly dog and cat that made my daughter's long-term stay extra enjoyable. Their apartment is located near the river and is a pleasant walk into the city center. There are several grocery stores nearby perfect for grabbing breakfast or dinner items.
If I could give Ingrid and her husband ten stars, I would. I hope you are lucky enough to stay with them while you are in Florence.
Thanks, Ingrid!!
