Filippo’s place was great! The location is the best—with views of the duomo right on your own terrace, and within walking distance to anywhere you wish. As Florence is historical buildings, there is no lift/elevator—but everything else about the location makes it worth it. You are only a 15 minute walk from the train station. Also, you are right across the street from a grocery store, and only a ~5 minute walk from Mercato Centrale.
