My name is Grace, and i live with my daughter 23 years old and a sweetiest dog beloved by any guest.
My apartment is located at the first floor of a two flats house, in a very quiet and elegant Street on the left side of the Arno river quarter. You can reach from it in 5 minutes walking the Boboli Garden and Pitti Palace, and the stunning Piazza Santo Spirtito with the market in the morning and a funny night life .
The Old Bridge is at 10 minutes walking, and the shopping center, Via Tornabuoni, Via Strozzi, Via Calzaiuoli ecc.. at 15 minutes walking maximum.
Also the train station is very close, and we have 2 buses bringing to it in 5 minutes at a distance of 50 mts from home.
My job is in the tourism field, so I can arrange for you any kind of solution for your visiting Florence or any other town or countryside . I can also easily arrange cooking classes in Florence or in the country, or also at home made by me, as this was part of my job a couple of years ago.
The apartment is composed by 3 bedrooms (2 for us 1 with 2 beds for guests)
2 bathrooms (1 for us, 1 private for guests with shower and bath tub), dining room, sitting room, entrance and a large kitchen . Wi-fi present of course.

The room was good. We had our own bathroom, which was very convenient. Bedlinen and towels were profided, so we didn't have to bring any of those ourselves. There was also a wifi connection that was fast and stable. Grazia was very nice. She prepared breakfast for us every morning, even on the mornings she had to leave early. The room was close to the city centre, so we were able to go everywhere by foot.

Grazia's home was really lovely, as were Grazia, her daughter and her beautiful golden retriever who met us at the front door every evening and the bedroom door every morning. It was located in a great position, quiet for sleeping but with several very lovely cafe's and a supermarket around the corner, bus stops within a half a block to choose from, walking distance from the 'old town' and several beautiful places to visit. Grazia was full of great and useful information and helped us out immensely. We had plenty of food for breakfast each morning and a lovely bathroom to ourselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending this homestay as one of the best we have so far stayed at in Europe.
