Place is great!! Elena and her friend Natalie were great hosts. A lot of places say well located but few live up to it as much as this one! The room is ride behind the Palazzo Vecchio! 100 yards from the Uffizi! One thing I would let people know, when we got to Florence the Cupola slots were booked for our whole stay! :( If this happens to you know that you can pay extra for a guided tour to the Cupola and you don't need a reservation. Of course only if you can reserve a spot with your paid ticket. I would also say get the Firenze card, it will save you so much time it is worth every penny. Great place, great city, great host, you can't lose!
