This place is awesome for a stay in Florence. You are only 10 minute walk from Firenze Santa Maria Novella which means day trips to Lucca, Bologna, Venice, and even Rome are a breeze. You are also only a 15 - 20 minute walk from all the Florence hot spots: Duomo, Uffizi, Accademia, and Ponte Vecchio. So close to everything, but just far enough away where you don't feel the 1,000's of tourists all around you.
