One would be hard pressed to find a better gem in the heart of Florence than Ciro's home. The location is perfect and scenic. I covered the city on foot due to the great location, and never needed a cab (and my walks were rarely more than 15 minutes to most big tourist spots). The space itself feels like a home, and is a great place to hang out in and relax. Yes, since it's on a major plaza, there is a fair amount of street noise, but it didn't prevent me from sleeping. Ciro was excellent with restaurant suggestions, and has cultivated a great collection of links to make life easier for tourists. Also, it was very nice of him to include a big bottle of Moretti for me as a welcome gift! This felt like my home in Florence, and I look forward to returning.
