Good location for a multi-night stay in Florence; the rooms were well-kept and it was nice having a balcony in the late evening. Be prepared to do some walking and my advice is to use the TRAM to get into old town - don't try to hike it (even though it's just a mile, it's easy to get lost on first night). Tram is real easy. Good stay - no problem for me, wife, and 14 and 15 year old kids.
