The house of books is the perfect place for a stay in Florence! It was cozy and warm with the perfect charm. Great location with a ton of restaurants near by. The host Elena is kind, welcoming, and hospitable. She gave us great recommendations and explained the areas of Florence for us depending on what we wanted to do. She provided maps, restaurants, and locations of museums or local destinations to see or visit. It was the perfect place to end our day after sightseeing.
