Love the place- near to almost every place we wanted to go - a lot of shopping and eateries nearby. Our favourite eatery is the cafe at the end of the block on the corner of Faenza and Nationale? Good food and cheap prices compared to others. A block away from Mercato Centrale where we enjoyed buying gifts and souvenirs, Santa Maria Novela Station and bus station. We walked to Duomo, Academia, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, San Lorenzo church, Medici Palace(?) among the ones I remember. Again, love the place. Our only struggle is the flight of stairs after the long walks but other than that, would stay here again if we ever get to go to Florence.
