Bred and Nadja are the nicest and helpful hosts. Their place is clean and has almost everything except maybe a hookah. I was jet lagged so every morning, I wake up at 5am and go to their nice kitchen to cook ramen (one of the few things I know how to cook). It takes me 2 minutes to walk towards the Duomo. You can't beat that --photos before any tourists! A few guests have mentioned the noise. I'm a light sleeper so I brought earplugs. However, I did not need them because I'm sleepy and tired by 7pm from all of my activities. So I didn't think it was too loud. But It took me a while to find the place when the cab driver dropped me off at Via Taddea. He said walk 20ft and it's Via della Stuffa on the right. He was right! but I still didn't see it the first time for some reason. Taxis cannot enter Via della Stuffa because it's blocked by the street shops ahead. The streets are narrow and they cannot turn the taxi within Via della Stuffa. So have them drop you off at Via Taddea or corner of "Via Camillo Benso/Via dei Martelli" and Via del Pucci. From there, where you can see the Doumo Baptistry, just turn right towards the market and you'll see Via della Stuffa. Google Earth before you go! Bred and Nadja's place is also walking distance to the train station. Again, you cannot beat the location and I will definitely stay here again.
