Cheery artist's studio in Florence

This 2nd floor guest suite in my home has a private entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. Originally my art studio, I now offer it for short-term stays. COVID-19 UPDATE. I allow 24 hours between bookings (no same-day turnovers) and open the windows between stays to permit fresh air circulation. I request that my guests be fully vaccinated. If you are not vaxed please write me with details so that I can assess what accommodations I need to make to ensure others' safety, including my own. Wood floors enhance this bright studio unit on part of the second floor of my 1913 home in pedestrian-friendly Florence—a borough of Northampton. Guests have their own private entrance via an outdoor set of stairs, a full kitchen, and a deep clawfoot bathtub—but with no shower. The studio has an open floor plan including a front room with twin bed, and a smaller TV room with futon sofa that opens into a double bed. Original art graces the walls throughout. I live in the rest of the house and am usually home during my guests' stays. Wireless internet. Fully equipped (though not stocked) kitchen. I can garage bikes with advance notice. I respect our mutual privacy, but look forward to greeting guests on arrival and am always available by cell or email.
