Wonderful location. It WILL be a bit loud at night but of course living in the central part of the city is going to be loud! Not an issue for my family and I since we are use to it. Step outside the door and you are RIGHT in the middle of the market. Only steps away from the duomo and Arno just after that. No AC! So if you are coming in the summer expect it to be 30+ degrees all day and 28+ at night. Has great ventilation if you open the windows but if you do.... it gets considerably louder. Over all fantastic stay and would recommend.
