We really enjoyed our stay at Tommaso's. It is a little removed from the Duomo area, but it is a quick walk to Boboli Gardens and some good restaurants. The balcony is great, and it was nice to feel more like a local. It's about a 20 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio, and 30 minutes from Santa Maria Novella train station. We enjoyed using the kitchen and washing machine, but wish there had been more toilet paper/dish detergent supplied for our one week stay. Overall, we recommend this for visitors to Florence.
