Super convenient by SMN train station, 3 min walk. Then only about 10 min to Duomo and "downtown" Florence area. Two flights up to place but stairs wide. Rooms were spacious and very quiet, and modernly renovated. Bed comfortable. Biggest con was smell of cigarettes notes upon arrival, although noted as non-smoking. Washing machine useful but takes 1-2h to wash, ans drying took a day or two by hanging. Didn't use kitchen much but with large fridge. Having two full baths was nice, strong hot showers. Husband had his best meal down the street called Osteria Pastella with flambé pasta, and freshest caprese salad we have ever had in week of Italy. Highly recommended.
