Quiet location, about 15 mins walking distance from S.M.Novella Station. Safe for solo women travellers as I came back around 11 pm with no issues. Almost zero noise if you close the terrace door. No microwave or many kitchen supplies, but then you are in a culinary heaven city, so probably won't need it. Comfortable bed. I slept like a baby for 5 nights. Word of caution - there are mosquitoes in Florence in April. If you are sensitive, I'd bring a repellant.
