Wonderful location near the train station. When my mom was tired and returned to the room I was able to walk around and felt very safe doing so by myself. It was only 15 minutes to get to the Duomo and maybe 20 to get to the Uffizi. Beautiful remodel of an older building, but really lovely with lots of character. Met promptly upon arrival and given great tips and a map explaining where I could find parking for our rental car. Do make sure you park correctly, and it may take ten minutes so that you don't have to pay $35+ a night in one of the many parking lots. . . just be persistent and avoid spots marked with the red/blue circle with the slash through it.
