It's a perfect place for anyone wanting to visit Florence. Even though you might not realize it from a map, you can walk anywhere on this side of the river within 15 minutes, which meant we didn't use the public transport a single time during our stay. Moreover, for all its walkability, it is still a quiet neighbourhood, so you can relax at the end of the day. You can forget to bring almost anything with you, as, clothing aside, you will find everything you need in the room (from breakfast food to slippers and tooth brushes). The neighbourhood is also well supplied with supermarkets with a pretty wide range of supplies.
That the host is so approachable and friendly is just the icing on the cake! Highly recommend!
