Excellent value in the heart of Florence. Right across from a brand new swanky hotel, with an entrance just steps from a lovely coffee shop, we felt safe at all hours, even for my wife to run out on her own. Be aware that it is a fifth floor walk-up (74 steps I believe I counted), but a modern stairwell with lighting and locked at the ground level, so just take your time and rest on the landings if needed! The hosts were lovely people and it was an honor to spend even just two nights in such a historic, yet comfortable and modernized, piece of Florence's historic center.
