Great location with view of the duomo, you share the patio but it's still very private, you are close to the city center and many cafes, stores and 2 blocks from L'Accademia and few blocks from the central market , we walked from the SMN train station(10mins), Cristina allowed us to check in earlier due to our train arrival time, gave us a booklet with restaurant recommendations and other tips, will definitely recommend to friends visiting Firenze
