Location is phenomenal! We walked to the train station every day during our week stay and it took about 13-15 minutes but a very easy walk. Right down the street from Duomo, 7 minute walk from ponte vecchio, and 10 minutes from the central market. There is a cafe right downstairs we went to for aperitivo almost every night which was a huge plus.
washer in the room, kitchen but we did not use, the room itself was comfortable for the two of us for a week. The balcony was a bit small and not much of a view but still a nice touch.
The stairs were a bit much, we got used to them but with our luggage we were definitely sweating.
