Il Ghiro Guesthouse

Il Ghiro (dormouse in Italian) is a small, youthful guesthouse a few steps from the central train station and a short walk to the famous sights in the historic center of Florence. There are 3 rooms with private bathroom and air-conditioning, and 2 rooms that share a bathroom. There is also a communal kitchen, equipped with basic cooking and eating utensils, that guests are welcome to use to prepare meals in if they want to save a little money, and a small reception area with a computer, wifi, and a kind of bar for doing some work, having a tea, or reading some of the many wonderful comments from all over the world. While the guesthouse is simple, it's still comfortable, bright and has 2 really good selling points: the location - easy to get to the from the station and convenient to everywhere else in Florence, and the owners - Paola and Francesco who are sweet, informative, and very professional. All in all, a great choice for someone on a budget who appreciates feeling well taken care of.
