Monia made us feel welcome immediately by giving us a tour of her apartment as we walked in and offering our use of all the public space as if we were related to her. She is warm, caring and friendly with a great knowledge of local transit and tourist hot spots. She took interest in our travels and made us feel right at home. The room was spacious, with lots of storage space and a comfortable bed. Only minutes from the main hustle and bustle of touristy Florence. Lots of nearby cafes, markets, pharmacies, tobacco shops and a post office for all your needs. We used the kitchen to save on meal expenses and enjoyed experiencing Florence as the locals might. Thanks, Monia, for a great AirBnB experience. If you're traveling to Florence and want a lovely room to stay in within your budget, we highly recommend this AirBnB!
