“What strikes me is the location, a short walk from both the train station and the Duomo, although be prepared for a climb since there is no elevator. Rooms are recently updated and well-maintained, and some even offer a glimpse of the Duomo itself. It's a solid base for exploring Florence, if you don't mind the stairs.”
