The place itself is fantastic, close to the Duomo and a lot of the Piazzas all tourists check out. There is a bar right across the front door, which welcomes patrons till 2 am. We asked the shopkeeper because of the noise on the very first night of our stay. By the time the noise goes down,it is 3 am. Go prepared with ear plugs if you stay here. The property is a historic tower, no elevator, steep and narrow steps to the 2nd floor. A 20 min walk to the Firenze Santa María Novella station and 40 min walk to the Firenze Campo de Marte station. Quite central, no Uber or Lyft here, have to go a taxi stand for a taxi if you must get one, but it's all close by. There is a fantastic Panini shop downstairs, (next door) and a fresh fruit stall and fishmonger visible form the living room window. Get your fish here if you plan to cook. We found these to be extremely convenient.
