This is a great location for seeing the sights, everything is with in walking distance. It is close to great food, drink, and all the sights that Florence has. We never needed a cab once we arrived. We walked I recommend it. Every turn is a new sight, landmark, museum, cathedral, all with in walking distance. Close to the river too. One tip, based on the time of year, warm nights, mosquito's do come out at night. We will be back again.
