Wow! Amazing view and prime location that can't be beat. We spent a week in Florence enjoying the view of Ponte Vecchio, the Arno river, Duomo and the Cathedral. We had tea/coffee out on the balcony in the morning and wine at night for the sunset with a live musician on the bridge each night. Definitely worth it if you love views and plan to take some quality time to just slow down and enjoy! I would bring or buy some bug spray for sitting outside on the balcony and walking around in the evenings in general. It is about a 20 min walk to the train station and most of the main attractions can be reached within that time frame or sooner as well. There's a supermarket across the street which was convenient. Air conditioning worked great during the summer heat. If we're ever in Florence, we'd book again!
