Staying here was perfect! We could walk to across town (to Santa Maria Novella train station) in less than 30 minutes. We walked EVERYWHERE, including across the river to visit sights and restaurants. Also, the street is lively and bustling, with every kind of shop you would want (including awesome leather and clothing stores for both men and women), a cafe and grocery store a few doors down, laundromat 1 block away, and tons of lively cafes and restaurants a few blocks towards town. Location location location! Paola was very helpful with check-in, and checked in on us during the stay to make sure we had what we needed. Response time was super fast. 2 full bathrooms was a luxury, and we used the kitchen a lot! All in all, would definitely stay here again when we're back in Florence. Working with Paola was great!
