We stayed here over 3 days in May 2016. The location is absolutely perfect and within 10-15 mins walking distance from all the important places to see while in Florence. The noise outside mentioned by other visitors was not a problem at all, it's not that loud. Right downstairs there are plenty of restaurants and the San Lorenzo market as well as the street vendors are right outside during the day so if you need anything it's very convenient. The restaurants downstairs are pretty good and at night the Atlantic offers shisha, so that's cool! Would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Florence.
