Breditz and Nadja are a bright, friendly young couple (with a sweet new baby!) They were very welcoming and allowed me to drop off my backpack early. Their directions from the train station were accurate and easy, it's a short walk to almost everything from their b&b. Great location, felt safe, they provided a map and suggestions for things to see and how to get there (wish I'd taken up their suggestion to go to the Piazza Michelangelo, just south of the Arno river, apparently it's the best view of Florence and worth the walk or bus ride; I ran out of time.) It's more hostel than b&b, but I had the ensuite room which afforded a bit more privacy. Room was clean, in an older "historic" apartment in a charming building, a bit more "worn" than appears in the photo but certainly adequate. They need to fix the shower head in the bathroom, it kept falling down, wouldn't stay up, but other than that it was fine. Nice and warm in winter with the radiator. The ensuite room is on the inside away from street noise, but right next to the shared bathroom in the hallway, so just know that you will hear noise anytime someone uses the bathroom (thin walls). Welcoming kitchen, simple but varied spread for breakfast (more variety than other airbnb places I stayed in Italy), a chance to meet other travelers, good value for the location and what's provided. They've had people from all over the world stay there, and they speak great English (and who knows how many other languages too...) Compared to other places I read about on airbnb this seems to be one of the best value, best run places in central Florence (just know it's not a room in a house, they live in an apartment downstairs). Oh, and there is a safe in the room, which was a nice feature. I doubt you could find a hotel with better value in this location.
