This was our first stop on our Italy trip and it was amazing. Best thing about it- LOCATION. You are in the heart of the city- literally steps away from the Duomo & within walking distance(10 min max) of all the major attractions, piazzas, the Arno, etc. So many restaurants to choose from. I was a little worried about feeling safe in the heart of the city but we had no issues at all. It was also incredibly quiet. As soon as you step out the front door you hear all the sounds of the city immediately but surprisingly enough as soon as you shut the door you don’t hear a thing.
Giacomo was great- he checked us in in person and got us settled. He also arranged a taxi to pick us up upon our departure.
Lastly- this place has SO much charm. If you are wanting to experience Florence’s beauty within the walls of where your staying- this is the place for you. Albeit the space is compact, it was something we were willing to sacrifice for immersing ourselves in Florence’s charm.
