Leopoldini's place was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a great stay in Florence. The self check in was very straight forward and useful given our flight was delayed and we arrived late in the evening. It's about a 25 minute easy walk into the centre, but if your feet are tired after lots of sight seeing there are also plenty of buses. The street can be a little noisy at night from the traffic, so if you're a light sleeper you might want to bring earplugs. As some of the other reviews note the spiral staircase up to the bedroom is a little narrow and whilst not an issue for us, it might be difficult to carry up a large heavy suitcase. We would be happy to stay here again.
