This location is perfect, especially if you’re not familiar with Florence. It is very conveniently close to the train station (about a 10 minute walk), and close to all the main attractions you’d want to see as a “first timer” in Florence. many cafes and restaurants are within steps of this place. The room was lovely, just a bit warm at night. With the window open, it made for a difficult time sleeping with the noise level. Ilaria adds a personal touch by welcoming you with biscotti and there is complementary coffee as well. She and her boyfriend were SO responsive and accommodating during my stay. I would definitely stay here again!
