Situated on a street in the midst of all the action with easy access to everything you'd want to do and experience in Florence, the noise level can be somewhat off-putting, but it does quiet down after the shops and vendors close and everyone settles in for the night. Shops, museums and restaurants were everywhere, within a few short steps from your front door. Guido is an attentive host who checked in to make sure we were comfortable and was helpful with restaurant recommendations and arranging a taxi to the airport at the end of our stay.
