Great location for exploring Florence - easy walk to anywhere in the city - and we walked everywhere while there. Noisy at night, even mid week during the end of the tourist season. Bring ear plugs. Shower is very small and shower curtain does not do a great job of keeping water in. If you are tall or large, you may have trouble. Air condition unit was nice touch - nights were warm even in October. Musty/moldy smell could be problem for some - keep windows open during the day to air out and fully dry out the bathroom after showers. Nice affordable place to stay for a few days in Florence. Hosts were very nice and the one time we locked ourselves out they were there to let us in within 5 mins.
