People - Book this place NOW! Excellent location. Very closer to bus lines, taxi stand. 5 minute walk to the Academia. Maybe 7 minutes to the Duomo. Very easy walk to the Ponte Vecchio and to the Uffizi and to the Pitti Palace. Please take Francesca’s restaurant recommendations. She did not steer us wrong on anything. Very accessible - super easy self check in and the fact that we could leave our bags after checking out until we had to get to the train station was the icing on the cake!!! 5 star accommodations!!
