The pictures really don't do this lovely place justice. It is a very roomy, clean and extremely comfortable place to stay in that is just minutes walk to the main part of Firenze. Personally I think staying in a place across the Arno river (like at Sal's place) is better than being RIGHT in the middle of Firenze - here you are super close to the action - and can have a very peaceful nights sleep.

When you arrive - you can walk (The place is situated about 1.2 km from the train station). It's really easy to walk to the place because there are no big hills. You just have to watch for the millions of speeding bikes and mopeds!

Sal provided all the amenities including ironing, washing machine, cutlery - and he was even nice enough to provide fresh milk, drinks, coffee, water - it was just a wonderful experience. Although the place doesn't have air con- you really don't need it. I was there in the hottest part of the year, and the fan is more than enough - in fact most of the time it was off.

There is a steep flight of stairs at the entrance, but most people can manage that.

In regards to amenities you are in Santo spirit piazza which has some great restaurants and just across from your place you can enjoy a lovely Florentine steak and a few other restaurants.

Convenience plus is this place because you have all your amenities really close by.

Finally Santo is a really great guy, and was very helpful.

I couldn't recommend this place enough and when I get back to Florence one day - this is the first place I will look up - so keep the place tidy for me :-D

Thanks Santo!
