A nice place close to to the train and shops. the place had 3 air conditioning units and it was very hot outside so my mom was very happy. Travelimg for us is all about location and being 3 blocks from the train station was great. we took several walks and saw a few sights. For those ablento.drive I recommend seeing vic at Sixt car rental. We went to San Gimiano for wine sampling and we stopped and sampled cheese and Real hard Salami! Then, finished by driving to Pisa on our first day and went tonthe beach. Then, on day 2 we went to the opposite coast to Ravenna. We went to the beach and shopping at the market and bought some inexpensive clothes and fresh fruit and ate at Nick'son the beach. They had great food. the we took the 3 hour drive back through the mountains to see the country. An amazing drive. Infind better bonding and better times with family going places rather than standing in lines to look at statues and paintings...I did that on a prior trip. Your choice. What I find seriously lacking are about 70 % of the people don't know how to give directions and do not care and 25% of the people will not help once they know you speak English. About 5% of the people will go all out and try to help. on the 2nd day from returning the car, I felt a presence behind my legs....some guy had snuck up behind me and no doubt was scanning me to rob me. I turned around and almost had an altercation with the person 20 meters from our room. I had a money belt and was carrying our personal items, so he got nothing. Pay attention to your train times. If you miss one, long distance or local. you may have to buy another ticket because they are timed. EVERYONE ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR VISA CREDIT CARD...PERIOD
