Perfect location, away from the maddening crowds and noise, but walkable, even for a 70 something group. When visiting a place like Florence, one needs only comfortable beds and a place for coffee close by.(Getting American grind coffee is near to impossible, so indulge in the local latte's and cappuccino's made by the locals.) For a group, two bathrooms are hard to come by in downtown Florence, the main reason for this choice.
Best of all, Nadia was the best concierge one could ask for...check-in was precisely on our schedule (just lucky that we were given Florence traffic) and the cabs she ordered for us were there on the minute. So the experience more than met expectations. Thank you Nadia.
