Mariam was a wonderful host. We were greeted upon our arrival with a glass of cold white wine, just what we needed after a long train ride. She made breakfast every morning for us and she even packed us breakfast to go when we had to leave early for our day trips. She gave great recommendations for local restaurants and provided relevant information on Florence. It's an easy 30 minute walk to the city center or a short bus ride. (The bus stop is less than 100 yards away from this location) We had more than enough space; private bathroom, bedroom, balcony, and a loft with a second bed. The air conditioner and WiFi were wonderful amenities which really added to the comfort of this room. We spent every night on the balcony enjoying the views of Florence and the surrounding countryside. Book this listing if you are planning on visiting Florence.
