This is a lovely place to stay. The location is on a park that is clean and quiet. It is near the very hip St. Ambrosio area where there are great restaurants and bars and Italians hang out at their favorites. It is a short walk to Santa Croce and the old center, but far enough from the hub bub to be pleasant and quiet when you want to go to sleep. I have stayed all over Florence and this is a special location and a lovely place to make a base.
