Gaia's place is located in Piazza Santa Maria Novella. It's in walking distance to everything: coffee shops, laundromats, the train station, Ponte Vecchio, Florence Cathedral, Palazzo Vecchio, Mercato Centrale, etc. Granted my husband and I are younger, but if walking isn't your thing, you can definitely take a taxi to the further locations. The only downfall is the stairs. We were fine with it of course, but after climbing around 85 steps (not including the landings), we were a little winded by the time we go to Gaia's. Her AC units made it worth it! Thank you, Gaia, for your fantastic remodeling. Such a perfect place for two younger people. I would recommend her place to friends and we would definitely stay here again.
