This is a wonderful place. Only challenge is you have to climb several sets of steps to reach the room. Otherwise it’s near everything within 10-20 minutes depending on where you want to go. It’s a 20 minute walk to the train station and 12 minutes to the Duomo. It’s 25 minutes walk to Piazzale Michelangelo if you want to see an amazing view of the city of Florence at sunset. Our daughter was studying in Florence, Italy. Her apartment issued by ISA was literally across the street and Sandra helped her transfer her luggage up to our room before we arrived that day. Great hosts. Sandra also helped us get our cab on the day we left to take us to the train station.
