Superb location at a very fair price -- an easy walk to all the major attractions in Florence, and an easy walk to the train station. The host is a genuinely nice person. He went out of his way to let us store our bags on the last day since we didn't leave until evening, and also let us check in as soon as the cleaning service was done. My Italian is not very good yet, but his English is quite effective. The bed has one of the memory-foam type mattresses and was very comfortable. There is a large grocery store a block away. Look at the locking mechanism of the door before you leave, and it is simple to see that there are a couple possible positions for each lock and you have to open the bottom lock last. It's not so easy to see that from the outside of the door. Any negatives are minor, and I'll remind you about price and location: (1) could use a sharp kitchen knife (2) street is kind of noisy, but I ran the fan at night for white noise and found it very restful. Street sounds might bother a light sleeper. (3) hot water heater might be one of those "on-demand" types that constantly turns on and off. In the shower, you had to find just the right position for the lever to run between a touch too hot, to just right, to a touch too cool. Really not a big deal.
