We loved our stay at "Il Granduca" in Florence. The location is great, tucked away on a quiet alley but very walkable and close to lots of places we wanted to go. Nice amenities like a washing machine, dishwasher, ice cube trays in the freezer, and iron for the clothes. Other reviews mentioned the numerous flights of stairs so we knew what to expect, but the climb can be tough with a heavy suitcase or after a long day of sightseeing. The bed was comfortable, the shower was big enough, plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Thanks for a great stay.
