We had a lovely stay at this place. Gabriele is a gracious host. The place is so convenient to everything. Restaurants right next door and just a few steps away to a lot of other restaurants. We ate at Trattoria Mario and Trattoria Rozzi and the food is authentic Fiorentinian and delicious thanks to Gabriele's recommendation. I bought some dried tomatoes, cheeses, biscotti and prosciutto to take home at Mercato Centrale which is located just around the corner and had meals at the first floor too. The unit is just a few blocks away from the Santa Maria Novella train station. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Doumo ( Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral) and about half an hour walk to Piazzalle Michaelangelo. 10-15 minutes walk to Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery. Perfect place to stay at while in Firenze.
