Great place to stay! Very comfortable, two steps from the Duomo, but quiet since it's on the back side of the building. Of course around the Duomo you hear the bells (same for houses in other areas with churches), but since I was in Florence for work that was not a problem. Let me add that Carla is a great host: she comes to pick you up at the station, immediately reacts if there is a problem and employs all her energy to solve it. I strongly recommend!
