Via Laura was a lovely place to stay! It was a prime location in the heart of Florence, and didn't make you feel like you were a tourist - it was about a 20-30 minute walk to just about anywhere you wanted (we didn't use a taxi once) and Daniele was a very gracious host.
He let us in ahead of our check in time as soon as we got into town when we asked ahead and gave great tips on where to go. He was a great host.
The space was clean, but small. The bed was a little stiff and slightly small for two people to sleep on (it's a full, not a queen), but it's a VERY minor complaint. Overall, we loved our experience at Via Laura.
