We loved this location right in the heart of Florence and only about an interesting 15 minute walk from
the train station. Our room was large and comfortable with a window that
could be opened for a look at the action or be shuttered for more quiet.
Because it was in the heart of Florence, you could hear the street sounds
but we thought the amazing location (a few blocks from the Duomo, with
shops and restaurants right outside) was worth a bit of noise. We were able
to walk everywhere that we wanted to go from this location, and we love
walking for discovering the flavor of a place. Plus we were close enough
that we could pop back to our room for a siesta if we wanted, without
loosing a bunch of adventure time. We were lucky to find lots of good food
in Florence and some peach gelato from Edoardo's that will remain forever
in our memories. We had the luxury of our own tiny and spotless bathroom
down the hall. Mauro and Sharon were very hospitable and very willing to
answer our questions. It happens that Sharon is a gourmet cook who also
teaches cooking classes at her family's restaurant (just in case you are
looking for cooking lessons while visiting Italy). We would definitely stay
here again. Thank you Sharon and Mauro! We enjoyed meeting you.
