Location location! Federico & Cosimo's place is an ideal location to stay for a few nights in Florence! Close to the train station, Mercato Centrale & Duomo, right in the tourist market, you can easily walk to anything. While it is certainly louder than where I currently live in a small quiet village in northern Italy, having lived on a very busy street in Vancouver I can say that it's not so persistently loud as that, and it certainly is not too loud for being right in the historic center of Florence. Great value havng stayed in Florence before at a different smal hotel!

Our room was a little late being ready but it was no problem to drop our bags and head out sightseeing. Same with leaving our stuff past check out in order to catch a later train. Federico was an excellent host and the room & bed were very comfortable. The room has lovely old rafters and even some robes for use in & out of the bathroom.

Thanks Federico & Cosimo!
