Amazing location! it's a very short walk to many great restaurants, the basilica right outside the window is amazing during the day and only gets better at night.
the tours we did through walkabout florance, the pick up location for most of them are about ten minutes away, and the train station is about a 15 minute walk without luggage. if you only have small bags or backpacks it would be faster to walk then take a taxi during the middle of the day, it's very busy with foot traffic and the streets are very tight making it very hard for cars to move efficiently.
Luisa was great, she greeted us right on secluded, the check in only took a few minutes and was very easy.
