Having a room with a balcony was spectacular. We loved the balcony, the free bike rental, and the free luggage storage on the day we left. Though the guesthouse is a bit away from the historical district of Firenze, it is a nice place to stay. And riding bikes around Firenze is a great way to get around and into the city. The only downside: no private bathroom, which is dormlike. At some point the bathroom was a little nasty, but nothing we couldn't handle. That's just what happens when you share bathrooms. Otherwise, a lovely spot to stay!
