The location is amazing, right in the middle of the old city, a few minutes walk from the Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, and just about everything else. If you're planning on touring around Florence too see the art, you can't beat this. It's like having your own apartment a couple of blocks from the Metropolitan in NY, or the Louvre in Paris. And spacious too, with an upstairs loft that has the bed, and downstairs kitchen/living area.
