The location near SMN train station is unbeatable and made the value worth it. This makes it convenient to walk to local places in Florence as well as to the train station for day trips (Siena, Pisa, etc) if desired. Our only item to note is that the place did leak a little when it rained, attracting mosquitoes, and leaving us with a few unwelcome bites. However, the check in process was smooth, location unbeatable, and Gaia was easy to communicate with and gave awesome local tips. Thank you!
