Lovely stay in central Florence. The academia museum is just across the street, less than 10 minutes to Duomo, bus connections on piazza around the corner. The room is very spacious, bright and comfortable. You have a private bathroom, however, you need to exit your room and then you have a private key to open and close the bathroom. Didn't bother me, just for people to know that. In the shower, the hand shower head didn't stay fixed in wall mounting, which was loose. So you couldn't stand under the water but you had to hold the head in your hand. Water pressure was a bit low, too. Those are pretty much the only (little) faults I could find. I think they were gonna get somebody to fix it. The bathroom was very clean and even had little toiletries there for you to use. The kitchen area is impeccable and inviting to have some coffee and cereal in the morning (which is also provided). I didn't get to meet Federica or Emmanuele, but Sonia greeted me and during my stay she even helped me once to make an appointment on the phone in Italian, which was extremely nice of her. Overall great place and I would gladly return!
