Mauro was there to greet me when I arrived and help with my luggage, even when I left 2 days later at 5:45 a.m. Clean, quiet, screens on the windows. The location is 2 major streets north of Mercato Centrale, huge food area, tourist area, so that is the area you would explore. Academia where David is, the Medici Palazzo, etc., There are plenty of food places big and small, cafes, gelaterias to access down the street and around the corner. It is quiet and easily accessible. Mauro is there to help you if needed. Big kitchen if you want to cook...maybe 15 minute walk to the train station.
