“Simone'S Scala House strikes me as a particularly good choice for travelers who like independence. The rooms are notably spacious, and the shared kitchen and dining area create an atmosphere of comfortable self-sufficiency, located conveniently close to both the city center and the train station in a quiet part of Florence, plus the private balcony overlooking the family's yard adds a distinctly personal touch.”
