This was a wonderful place to stay. It is right by the Arno river and within easy walking distance of all the major attractions. The room and bed were very comfortable and there is a lift making it easy to get to the 4th floor accommodations. Marzia and Rachid were the perfect hosts. They gave us a map and suggested things to see. Breakfast was optional, but we elected two mornings to eat in and it was very good. They also recommended a restaurant, Celestino, which was right across the street. We highly recommend this restaurant which had really excellent food. Be aware there are two other restaurants in this small plaza so make sure you go to Celestino's. I would rate our stay as five star!!!!! You will be happy if you stay with Marzia & Rachid.
