We went to Italy for our honeymoon and Florence was our first stop. This place was amazing! We didn't get to meet Jacopo but met his Mother, Father and cousin. Only thing we had a problem with was that we needed to call Jacopo's father but we didn't have a phone in Italy since we turned off our cell service. But beyond that, when we first walked in the main door of the building, it was amazing! It's almost like a castle/museum! Gorgeous marble floors, grand staircase, marble busts and old oil paintings. We did not expect this kind of entrance! The actual room was on the top floor and it was so cute and romantic. The view from the room is just absolutely breathtaking! We could see the cathedral perfectly and it's lit up at night! The bathroom was huge and spacious and the kitchenette had all the basics we needed (wine opener!). Also has A/C which was perfect for when it was too hot. We've already told friends and family to stay here if they ever come to Florence.

Location wise it was also great. It's a slight walk from the train station if you are rolling w/ luggage, but if you have back backs - it's not bad at all! We're also younger so the walk wasn't bad for us, but my parents, for example, may have wanted to get a taxi It's in a quieter, residential neighborhood but close enough to all the sites. It was about a 10-15 minute walk (if that) literally down the street (seriously, just stay on the street) to Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral. We also stopped and got espresso every morning on our walk. Everything is basically in walking distance from there. We also saved money and went to the super markets nearby to grab meats, cheeses, bread and of course, wine. Could not have asked for a better place to stay. We only wish we had stayed longer!
