I'm sure you have read the reviews about the noise. Well bring your white noise machine and ear plugs and suck it up. This location is the best. It is right outside the central market and that place is amazing. If not for the fact that you are in Florence and should go to all of the other sites, you could stay right there. You could shop at the market and cook your own food or eat at one of the many places upstairs at the market. There is plenty of space, the water is hot and the beds are comfy. You do have to push the toilet flusher several times and then it will flush. I'm only saying this so you won't be scared that you can't flush the toilet. Also if you have a car, be sure to find parking that has a daily rate. If it only has hourly, like the parking at the central market, you will pay a pretty euro to get your car at the end of your trip.
