This was my first trip to Florence and I was traveling solo. Marco and Cristiana proved to be great hosts. Of special note was Cristiana's thorough knowledge of the city, especially on how to avoid the "tourist traps" but also on great activities that brought me to some sites that otherwise could have been overlooked. My room was spacious and quiet and the mornings started off with lively conversation with the host. I'm very happy with my selection and would happily recommend this locale to other travelers.
