You really can't beat this location if you are visiting Florence. It is up the road from the Duomo, and a couple of blocks for the Accademia (to see the David). Also, the Leonardo di Vinci museum is on this same street. It is close to grocery stores, restaurants, and other shops. It is only a 20-25 minute walk from the train station, as well. The location is great. It is on the 4th floor (3rd floor by Italy definition), which might be an issue if climbing stairs is difficult. (It's a great warm up if you plan to climb the Duomo!) Also, the bar next to this building is very loud at night, which might be a problem for light sleepers. Also, the WiFi was not working when we were there, but they were going to fix it the next week. The rooms were very spacious, and accomodated our family of 6 very nicely. Duccio was wonderful to work with, and I wish we could have met him in person, but he was out of town (his father was there to let us in). I highly recommend this as a very convenient and comfortable place to stay when visiting Florence!
