First off, for people who have visited both, which town would you recommend visiting if you had two days between a transit from Florence to Rome??
Second, where have people stayed when visiting these two towns (especially Siena)?
Thanks!

I went to Siena and did not stay in the hostel there cause friends said it was crap as did all the reviews on the website. i stayed in guest house i guess is what you'd call it. but there was no reception so we were just lucky the cleanign lady was there when we arrived otherwise there'd be no one! and the phone at the nearby gas station was out of order!
it actually takes longer to get to siena than between rome and florence cause the trains are really slow on that route.

I haven't done it, but I know you can take a SITA bus from Florence to Siena that is (I'm fairly sure) faster than the train.

Jules,
Do you remember the name of the guesthouse? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find a decent place to stay there for under 30 euros..

Le Fonti de Pescaia i believe. however, like i said, no recpetion. i'd only do that again if i was travelling with a cell phone cause there were no phones on the property and we just happened to arrive when the cleaning lady was there. ...and she barely spoke english and i barely speak italian. it was outside the city wall too... about a 5-10 min walk to the walls and then the city center is another 10 min or so i beleive. siena is expensive for places to stay.
