We enjoyed our stay here in October. It was close to the train station and the Duomo. We loved the view from the patio. You can hear the bell tower ring at 7am. There is a small elevator that takes you up to the 5th floor, which is convenient.
Someone met us at the entrance for checkin and introduced us to the space. He was thorough and gave us some suggestions.
We recommend you keep the doors and windows closed. There are mutant mosquitoes or sand gnats in Florence that can leave lasting bite marks for days. We learned the hard way.
