The location was convenient to all the touristy spots within walking distance. About 6 minutes from Santa Maria Novella train station. Duomo is about 15 minutes walk away. Roberto was so accommodating to my early check-in. Note: there is a bar right below so the noise may be a factor if you’re a light sleeper. It didn’t bother me after a long day of excursion and sight-seeing. The high ceiling and big windows are a plus.
