This is the perfect location if you are traveling to Florence. A 5-10 minute walk to all the main attractions, and so many great restaurants to chose from, all within walking distance. There is also a small grocery store across the street so picking up some supplies was easy. There is not an elevator, only a narrow, steep staircase, so if you bring a 50 lb. suit case, (o 2 like we did), you will get a workout day one. One of the bathrooms is very small. It is fine for going to the bathroom, and a shower, but you can not get ready in there. If you are driving, as we did, there is a pay parking lot 15 feet from your front door. Riccardo, our host, was wonderful too. He was very responsive when we arrived, gave us a map so we could get our bearings, and gave us suggestions of where the "locals" go to eat. He was a huge asset. If we go back to Florence, we will stay here again!
