Great and friendly staff. The hotel was close to everything yet as quiet as can be at night for Italian standards. The breakfast area was lovely and they allowed guests to sit in the courtyard after hours to enjoy the lovely Florence evening breeze after a long day walking around. I spent a week here and would go back.

The location was ideal, just 2 blocks from the Duomo but far enough away from the throngs of tourists who visit it. Breakfast was always delicious.
