Wow wow wow wow. You must stay here! This place is amazing! We booked it after reading the reviews and we were so glad we did.
A few things to note! You’re staying in a busy piazza - so yes it will be somewhat loud. You are also staying in a building that houses offices, so you will hear people in the hallway. And, yes the balcony is shared but trust me, it’s worth it. We loved hearing the sounds in the piazza! We loved knowing we were in the hustle and bustle, and we also used the shared balcony many times with no one else up there! The view is TO DIE FOR! You can’t get closer to the duomo than this.
We also used the kitchen, which worked great!
Highly highly recommend this place. We absolutely will be staying here again when we are in Florence.
