The best location!! Turn left to the canals and bridges, and turn right you'll instantly find all the shops and walk down further for the attractions in the city . Riccardo was one of the best host a guest could ask for. He was very helpful even before we arrived with booking restaurants, assisted us about car rentals and garages and so on. The place was beautiful with super high ceiling and very classy decor. The noise from the street can get a little noisy at night, and if you're a light traveller you shouldn't have a problem with getting your luggages up on the stairs. This place is the best stay when in Florence period.
