I would highly recommend staying here! Stefania was very helpful and was able to accommodate a special request to help make this vacation start extra special for my mom. The location is fabulous. It is about a 15 min walk from the train station, which we did often after the initial 20euro cab ride our first day. The Duomo is steps from her door. There is a wonderful little sandwich shop a few store fronts down that I miss terribly! She answered any and all questions and offered great restaurant suggestions. If staying in Florence, definitely check this spot out!
