Going to Mrs. Silva’s place is like visiting your own home. She is a very nice warm gentle lady and somehow reminded me of my own mom. She has a dog who is very friendly so don’t worry if you’re not used to dogs. The room is very comfy and has a nice view. It felt like my own room with lots of thoughtful touches. There are some restaurants just down below. Florence is a very walkable city and there are bus stations a stone throw away. Remember to buy tickets in advance from the train station since on the bus you usually cannot, and don’t forget to validate them. During festive or celebration times, the neighbourhood may get noisy but they are rare. You will have your own access to the building so I recommend to go and explore as much as you can. Mrs Silva’s place is quite stylish, I am sure many will like it.
