Elena speaks Russian and English, which was very helpful. The city is very easy to reach by Foot or by Bus.
We can recommend this place for a short stay visiting Firenze. The only negative point is that the traffic on the Road is very important making the area relatively noisy.
We have been able to park AT he shopping center 5 minutes from the home. This is Ok if you don't need your car during the night after 8Pm.
