Alessandro hosted us and gave clear instructions for getting in. We were very happy with the location, comfort, and of course our baby angel friends flying in the frescoes. We enjoyed walking past Basilica di Santa Croce on each day of our stay. My husband is tall and had some trouble with bumping his head on the bathroom doorway, but it was entertaining for me. As with anywhere near center of Florence, there is some street noise at night. Pack earplugs if that will bother you. We didn't notice it Sunday night, so it might be a weekend thing. The bed was comfortable and extra warm blankets were available, so we slept well.
