I could write a novel describing how wonderful my experience staying at Thalia's charming home was. Thalia's home is sparkling clean and the tasteful, artistic and inspiring decor could win an interior design award. The location is ideal, too. About a 15 minute walk to the center and a less than 5 minute walk to a peaceful park where music plays in the evening. In addition to how wonderful Thalia's home was, Thalia herself is a remarkable woman, and a wealth of information when it comes to her knowledge of Florence. She makes it her priority to share all her knowledge with you so you don't fall into tourist's trap of spending too much money and going to overly crowed tourist areas. She know's all the secrets of Florence and shares them freely. I loved staying at Thalia's home so much I hope to return when I visit Florence again at the end of June, and whenever I return to Florence in the future. I could truly write so much more about my great experience staying at Thalia's, but please trust me when I say Thalia's home, and Thalia herself are diamonds in the rough.
