I absolutely loved staying at Duccio's place. It was my, and my husbands, first time in Florence. I felt like every time you would step out the front door it felt like you were on a movie set. The location was perfect for us. We had no problem with the noise outside. If you are flying in or coming in from the train, the easiest way to get to the place is to take a cab. Duccio was so kind and responsive to booking and confirming a cab for us the day we left. He also gave us great food recommendations. I would stay here again.
