Francesco and Antonella are lovely people and we appreciated our interaction in their little apartment. Besides the new & very clean private bathroom, we liked being able to make breakfast with the provided ground coffee for the stovetop espresso maker as well as corn flakes before heading out the door. A word of caution: get through the somewhat dingy entry into the building- there are many steps and lugging your suitcase up the rather dimly lit series of stairs in a building shared by another unit may be difficult for some. (no lift.) We are elderly, but made it! (Better for younger folks!) Overall, an enjoyable experience, much due to the gentle kindness of our hosts. Convenient location for travel to and from the train station Santa Maria Novella. Grazie tanto!
