Tthis space is exactly as described, which is great. It's perfect for the solo traveler.
I stayed for about 12 days and what I loved the most was the location. It's steps from San Spirito Square in Oltarno. After a day of museums in the tourist hub of Florence, or even a day trip, it was wonderful to retreat to an area where more Italian was spoken than English. In the square, there are a number of good places to eat. You can people watch. On Sundays, the square fills up with vendors and artisans. Th first Sunday I was there it was a mix of flea market type items and food stalls. The second Sunday was more arrtisan made items and food. It was delightful, and busy all day with Italian customers. The only tourists were ones like me who were in the neighbourhood. I highly recommend Valeria's place.
