Mariam was a fantastic host! Great location and very spacious room!

Miriam and her husband were so sweet and the room was gorgeous! It was nice because you definitely have privacy even though you're in another person's home. We were greeted with wine and a snack, and were given a breakfast in the mornings! I would stay here again for sure!

Mariam was an excellent host! She was warm, caring and attentive to my needs. Every morning, she prepared a hearty breakfast for me before I headed out to sightsee. On my last day, I had to leave extremely early to catch my train, and Mariam packed food to take with me. Just one example of her hospitality. I didn't get to interact with her husband much but he made it a point to have breakfast with me on my last day. He was great to talk to and he even let me use his computer after to print some documents I needed. Their home is lovely - wonderfully designed by themselves (Mariam and her husband are architects). The room is very spacious and has a separate closet area, a mezzanine level with an extra single bed, and a balcony. The apartment is close to town - about a 20minute walk to the city centre. My stay with Mariam and her husband has got to be one of the best experiences I've had from Airbnb. I highly recommend staying with them!

This was a beautiful place to stay! Mariam and her husband were two of the kindest people we have ever met. If we visit Italy again, we will try to drop in and say hi. The loft they provide within their home is beautiful, clean and private. Would stay here again for sure.

I loved my stay at Mariam's 'Room with a View'. From the very beginning when I reached the place, Mariam made a fresh cup of espresso and brought the tray of snacks into my room. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. The bed was very soft and homey, the toilet was clean, and I had a private balcony and toilet to myself. Transportation was also quite convenient: there is a direct bus straight to town. The next morning, I was keen to see how espresso was prepared using a Moka pot, and Mariam was very happy to show me. Breakfast wasn't much but it made things very convenient for me, seeing that I didn't need to worry about finding food early in the morning. Mariam's husband was very kind to print out directions to 'The Mall', as I had expressed interest in heading there the day before. They also happily and shyly obliged my request to take a picture with them. After a long day out, I reached the apartment in the evening. I caught the family (Mariam, her husband and their daughter) dining with a family guest. They welcomed me to the table for dinner and I had a taste of Mariam's home-cooked dinner. I understand that having dinner was not part of the agreement but they warmly welcomed me to dinner and conversation. Hearty laughs were exchanged even though I understood close to nothing and they understood little English, but their hospitality and openness was infectious and I felt included nevertheless. This was definitely a night to remember. =) I had an early flight out and needed to call for a cab at 330am. The couple was lovely and booked a cab for me the night before. At around 325am, Mariam's husband knocked on my door, concerned that I was not yet awake. I Just when i was worried about the taxi not showing, Mariam's husband told me that he would be at the window to make sure that I got my cab, otherwise, he would call the taxi again. As promised, when I got into my cab, he was looking out from the window and he waved goodbye to me. There was something very homely about this couple; they made me feel very well taken care of, much like how my own parents would care about me if I were overseas. Definitely staying here again if i am every in Firenze. =)

Mariam ha sido muy atenta y en todo momento ha procurado que nos sintiésemos a gusto. También su marido nos recibió siempre con una sonrisa y una palabra amable. La casa está un poco alejada del centro, aunque esto no es un problema, en realidad se llega al Duomo en un paseo de 35 minutos, o a la plaza de San Marcos en 10 minutos,tomando el bus que está justo al lado de la casa. Es un barrio tranquilo y muy cerca de la casa hemos estado en un restaurante-vinoteca muy recomendable, El Palaio del Vino. La habitación es amplia, luminosa, y está muy limpia, con una cama cómoda, un buen baño y una agradable terraza. Hay un segundo cuarto con una cama individual, aunque solamente para dormir ya que es bastante pequeño. Quizás la única pega que le pondríamos es que el desayuno abusa de productos industriales. En cualquier caso, es una muy buena opción para alojarse en Florencia.

De kamer bij Mariam is een heerlijke kamer in een rustige buurt op loopafstand van het centrum met alle bezienswaardigheden. Ik werd warm ontvangen met een glas wijn. Het ontbijt werd in de keuken geserveerd. Ik kan de kamer bij iedereen aanbevelen.

Mariam was a wonderful host for our first nights in Italy. She went out of her way to welcome us and helped to orient us to our new surroundings. The accommodations themselves are excellent. The apartment is within walking distance of the city centre and the balcony is a great place from which to experience the Florence of 5 am as the birds awaken.

Where do I start!?!? This was the AirBnB find of the Century! AMAZING LOCATION on the countryside of Florence. Easy access to downtown! Beautiful views all around...I felt like I was in a painting. So peaceful and perfect! Francesco is the BEST HOST YOU COULD ASK FOR...great communication, AMZING COOK, super friendly, very accommodating! I met a lot of his friends and they are just as great! They took me out on the town and we stayed in and had cocktails and dinner a few nights as well! I feel like that are family now! I felt like I was staying with a long time friend not a stranger from AirBnB! HIGHHHHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!

Francesco's place is ideal, if you want to stay in the country side but still can reach bigger cities within minutes. Thank you, for you warm welcome!

Amazing host, Francesco treated my girlfriend and I like family. He helped us around town and really made us feel comfortable while we stayed with him. Francesco keeps his home clean and tidy, and he offers all the amenities you could want.

Francesco ist ein super netter Mensch und toller Gastgeber! Er hat uns sehr nett und freundlich empfangen, trotz der spätere Zeit. Die Wohnung von Frankcesco war super sauber und aufgeräumt und man hat hier alles, was man für eine Unterkunft im Privathaus benötigt. Trotz, dass wir die Wohnung gemeinsam mit Francesco benutzt haben, so hatten wir unser separates Schlafzimmer und konnen uns an den Abenden sehr gut und ungedtörrt erholen. Im Hof von Haus gab es genügend großen Parkplatz, wie auch einen wunderschönen idylischen Garten, den man nur für sich hat. Vielen lieben Dank für Deine Gastfreundschaft und für den tollen letzten Abend, mit leckerem toskanischen Essen und Wein, lieber Francesco! Wir kommen wieder gerne :-)

Very nice. I recommend Francesco. We had a nice time at his place. It was just like being at home !! The apartment also has a very brautiful garden, perfect for the summer nights.

Fantastic stay at Francesco's home. The area is very charmfull and only 10 min from Florencia. Room and bathroom were very tidy, bed perfect and big closets. I'm very thankfull to him for helping me out on my first days in Florence.

Lo pasamos muy tranquilo, Francisco es una persona correcta y amable. El lugar es precioso y se ubica en una casa Toscana, está en una zona que es segura y sencilla de comunicar con Florencia. Muy buena estadía. Miriam

Francesco was wonderful. He made our stay really unique! The master bedroom is big and the bed was quite comfortable. Conveniently, Florence was a 20 minute drive away and the drive down is stunning. Francesco was a great host who went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of. He told us about Tuscany, Italian culture and gave lots of advice for the rest of our travels through Italy. One night he took us to the vineyard his brother works at and we had a tour as well as a wine tasting. He also made us a delicious meal one night and invited some of his friends. Overall we felt welcomed and had a very memorable trip. If you are staying in Tuscany definitely stay with Francesco for an amazing and authentic experience. You won't regret it!
