Plus Florence - Hostel
At first, I was given a shared room with a man. When I said I wasn’t comfortable with that, one of the staff members helped me get a shared room with girls instead.

Right across the street from main train station. Public transportation within 1 block. 10 minute walk to Duomo area. Good rooms, fine breakfast, helpful staff. Small grocery store around the corner. We’ve stayed here twice and will stay again if we return to Firenze.
