Isabella and her husband were wonderful. So timely, helpful, communicative, and caring. The place is very clean. The building felt secure. The terrance is indeed very large, although the view isn't anything to rave about.

The location had it's pluses and minuses. Pluses: Very convenient to a tram stop, 4 stops away from Florence's Santa Maria Novella station. And we really liked being on "the other side" of the river: it gave us more local neighborhoods to explore on our way back from our days in Florence.

Minus: We didn't feel like there were super-convenient cafes, bistros, etc. nearby. It's possible we didn't explore the neighborhood to the fullest, but that was our impression.

If you're looking for a classically-decorated place (as opposed to a more contemporary-European), this is a great, practical value with wonderful hosts.
