The walk from Firenze S.M.N. station to Cosimo's place was very straightforward and quick, even with our suitcases! Alberta kindly helped us check in the moment we arrived and taught us everything we needed to know. Some things I loved about the place were (1) The INCREDIBLE view; I know the pictures show it, but from the windows, the Medici Chapel feels quite like a breath away. (2) Its centrality to major attractions that makes life so much easier while walking around everywhere. (3) Proximity especially to the station; we took a lot of half-day/ day trips to other places, and having it nearby was just really nice. Note about the noise mentioned by other reviewers: if you keep yourself as busy and entertained as we did during this trip, then it won't be a problem... and you might just have one of the best sleeps you've ever had. Will recommend Cosimo's to all my friends headed to Florence!
