This location is the perfect place to stay at if you’re trying to explore Florence in a short period of time (we had 2 days). We did not once take the train as we could walk to everything and visited the central market twice during our stay. Very close to supermarkets, great restaurants and sightseeing areas and I actually did not have any issues with outside noise (they also have a noise mitigation door in addition to the regular front door). I felt very safe at this location, exactly what I was looking for.
