I love the concrete zen room. All calm and pretty to relax in after a busy day. The location is brilliant, convenient to the Duomo, Uffizzi, shops, market, and train station, but enough off the beaten path to feel like home. I did hear the vendors in the morning but nothing that really bothered me. The accomodations are top notch with thoughtful touches like an elecrical adapter for world travelers and coffee available in the kitchen. The shower was terrific, which goes a long way with me - hot with good water pressure. Everything was clean and stylish, fun and contemporary, with some beautifully preserved old world details. The building, room, and flat are all secure and my check-in was easy and welcoming. Thank you, Nadja, for being a helpful and accomodating host. I shall certainly return.
