Wonderful location about a block away from a sweet little square with music, gelato, and good food! you are on the south side of the arno which is preferable if you want a more local experience rather than a touristy one—-although, we spent a day doing all things touristy and we could easily walk everywhere in florence from here! highly recommend! modestino checked in regularly to make sure we were doing well and emme was fabulous at check in. they give you 20% off at a local restaurant that has the BEST gnocchi i’ve ever had. stay here!
