Bea is a super host and offers a wonderful place to stay after very busy days, walking from place to place to see everything that Florence has to offer. I always looked forward to the AC room where I could relax and rest my tired feet... and that amazing view of the Duomo and the city from the bathroom window was an extra bonus. I took so many pictures from that window at dawn, dusk and at night with the full moon! Having an elevator in the building was an extra plus. I have dietary needs and Bea gave me excellent recommendations. Quinoa Rest. was delicious (I went twice), as well as the gelati places (went several times) and the breakfast places she recommended. I loved that you’re only two blocks from Piazza S. Marco and the Academia and about five from the Duomo. I walked all the way to the Boboli gardens, on the other side of the river and every end of the day to Ponte Trinita to watch the sunset, with Ponte Vecchio behind us. Breathtaking! It was all very manageable walking and I felt very safe at all times, even at night walking back home. I highly recommend this place.
