Great location. Walking distance from most of the top attractions of Florence. In 10 minutes or less, you can walk to the Duomo, the train station, the Mercato Centrale, or the Piazza della Repubblica. In about 15 minutes you can walk to the Galleria dell'Accademia, the Piazza della Signoria, Galleria degli Uffizi, or the Ponte Vecchio. The staff were friendly and attentive. We liked Daniel at the front desk. We stayed at the Gioconda suite, 269 sq ft, but it was split level, so the space taken up by the steps reduced the effective area of the room. Bottom line, it felt really cramped. But it's a fair trade off for the convenience of being in the center of the city.
