Great location and spacious near the Duomo, had a few nights when we opened the window to enjoy a violinist and opera street performers. But that can also be a negative, a little noisy. Very safe and private with a keypad for access. Wonderful host that were available for any of our questions. Yes, there's a plumbing smell but that's literally all of Florence. A little air freshener which they provide took care of it. We would stay there again!
