We had a good time in Florence and this location was the best for us in terms of location, design, the kindness of the host, cleanliness, access, and communication. Easy access to the railway station, the city center with all the important museums and attractions, Piazzale Michelangelo (directly by bus no 12 from the station next to the bridge) and also the charming Oltrarno area that we discovered exploring around. Piazza Santo Spirito has remained our favorite, very local with terraces and people hanging around, and we mainly discovered it because it is close to the accommodation. Usually, a 15-minute walk to reach important things to visit in Florence, in our opinion, and we stayed for 4 days. Plus, two of the tastiest gelato shops were very close. One around the corner and one at the next bridge. Special thanks to Alessandra, who has been very flexible and welcoming, ready to help us with all the details we needed about our stay. What was not so comfortable: the position of the two beds at the top of the room, with stair access and railing, is not so secure for children, even teens like ours, because we were afraid that something might happen during the night if they get up, etc. After the first night, we ended up sleeping on the single beds upstairs and the girls in the double bed downstairs. I did not realize the possible danger from the room pictures, but when entering and seeing how tall the stairs are, it was not so comfortable. So, if you have this kind of concern, I would not recommend the option of a family room. Second: the outside noise. Like most historical buildings, I guess, they are located in the city center, a very crowded and noisy area due to the many cars, buses, motorcycles, garbage collection trucks, delivery trucks, etc. Hard to resist with open windows for more than a few minutes because of the noise.
