Location! Location! Location. Within 2 minute walk to the Academia and the Duomo. The elevator is so welcome after walking for days trying to see all Florence has to offer without having to climb 4 flights of stairs. The terrace is nice but we didn’t use it very much. If windows stay open, it can get noisy with neighbors but it quiets way down just by closing the bedroom door. Quiet neighborhood. Comfy bed. Great water pressure and lots of room.
