Convenience over comfort is the name of the game here. We were within a 10 minute walk from the Duomo, Uffizi, and Accademia, and almost across the street from the tram from the airport. We were able to cook our own meals in the fully appointed kitchen and shop at the Conad around the corner. If location is all you need, look no further! What we were not able to do very well was sleep! The bed is impossibly firm, the pillows are pancakes, and the noise outside and inside the building starts from 6 in the morning and goes to 1 or 2 at night, plus the lovely construction site across the street. The ac was also not strong enough to take on the heat in the city in August. Can't recommend enough getting bug spray or a plug in deterrent from the store. You will wake up bitten by mosquitoes. Also be warned about the shower: only one side opens so it is a bit of a squeeze to get in past the sink.
