Great location in Florence. Only a few minutes from the train station. Very near everything and in walking distance to most major attractions. The rooms are very large (by European standards) and very nicely furnished. There is a great common space. I read in other reviews that there were noise issues but I didn't experience this at all. It was very quiet at night. I was a little concerned about just showing up and having someone there to let us in but our host was there on time and we had no issues. I would definitely stay here again.
