Staying at Daniella's was perfect for us! The directions were easy to follow from the train station and the walk to the Duomo and then the three blocks to the Academia took about 15 minutes. We were able to check in soon after our arrival, even though it was still in the morning, so that we could leave our overnight bag. During the two nights, three days, we were in Florence, we explored the city in all directions - very centrally located. Loved having the use of a kitchen as there is such an abundance of take-out deli eateries in the area, with a wonderful variety of food at reasonable prices. Enjoyed meeting the guests who stayed in the other bedroom, and had no issues with sharing the space, noise-wise or otherwise. Loved how warm the bathroom was (each room has its own with entry from the common area) and appreciated the hot shower with thick towels. Quiet at night. We were able to leave our bags in the common area on the last day, until the mid afternoon when we left for the train again. A special set of keys is there to allow that without interfering with the next guest's checkin. Daniella was very conscientious in checking in with us via messaging to make sure we had everything we needed. A wonderful place to stay!
