Our home is an open place, a sanctuary, crisp, clean, simple, fragrance-free and comfortable. Original fir floors, sanded and re-finished. Your room with three windows is airy and light. The living room has an open floor plan. Walls and windows have rounded corners giving a southwestern feel, friendly and relaxing. Southern exposures reveal views of "green". Following a path down to the river, you'll find a bench for meditating. Your room is about 120sq. feet, has THREE windows, and is on a fairly quiet street though you'll hear some cars passing. It's a real bed, and is full-sized, no box spring. The main floor is shared as well as the very clean 1.5 bathrooms. We have a second room that we also offer on Airbnb. There is wifi, throughout the house, so you may set yourself up in the living room, or in your room. The cold water is filtered in the basement, so you can access fresh water from any tap in the house. We request fragrqnce-free cosmetics-no perfume! If you need, you are welcome to use the products available in the bathrooms. We have a piano and a djembe, which you are welcome to play, if inclined. In season, it's great to take a dip in the river behind the house. Hi, We will be happy to help with orientation and entertainment, restaurants, sightseeing, hiking, biking...etc. To chat, or to give you space, whichever is more comfortable for you... Our street is close to Florence Center, but is not a major thoroughfare, (if anything around here could be considered a thoroughfare!) so there is some traffic, but not much. It is residential, we have good neighbors that look out for each other. There is off street parking. If you need public transport, there is bus service accessible within a 7-minute walk to the center of Florence. There are several car rental businesses with quick pick-up service. If driving, it's virtually a straight shoot into Northampton! You are welcome to use the kitchen, there will be space for you to store things in cabinets and in the refrigerator. I’m not allergic, but am VERY sensitive to odors, so there is a strong fan in the kitchen which should always be used when cooking. I don’t allow perfumes, incense, or cosmetic products, shampoos, etc. with fragrance. Thank You!!
