Like all the reviews, it is close enough to walk to all the tourist places and far enough to be next to all the local joints. Yes it is a great place and Lorenzo is a great host. What makes it unique is that u get access to the entire family, they not only kept our luggage but also called us a taxi and helped load the luggage into the taxi. All while it was raining..... really appreciated this act.
For endorsement, people usually say that they will definitely stay at the same place again. We liked our first visit so much that on return to Florence (after a few days in Tuscany countryside), we canceled the hotel and stayed stayed again at Lorenzos other property. He has two apartments next to each other. One is a two bedroom and the other is a one bedroom. His extended family lives in the remaining apartments.
Very nice experience.
