This was highly recommended from my wife's friend who had stayed there before. We were not disappointed, While not a 5 star grand hotel room - it was even better for the simple elegance, in a private (and very spacious) REAL Firenze neighborhood. Very close to tourist attractions, yet centered in a true Italian area. Full service kitchen (which we did not use other than breakfast due to the true local and lovely restaurants), spacious shower, modern washing machine, and so much more. We would love to come again. Molto Bene!
