The studio was fantastic exactly as the pictures, has a cool modern design, a great place to stay for visiting central Florence, There are lots of shops and cafe's nearby and great shopping not far, not too mention the fantastic museum's and cathedral in central Florence. The studio even has a small cooking area, but you will probably be too busy shopping for that. A great place for a couple or single traveler. Actually if you don't like this studio there is probably something wrong with you or you should be paying more money to stay somewhere else, Maria Paola and her husband Lorenzo were very accomodating ,and can give you lot's of advice on the local area and anything may need to know. Will definitley stay on my next visit.
