Was not near downtown Florence, so would not suit someone wanting to be near the main attractions, museums etc. but neighborhood was safe and walkable with great gelato and dining options within short walk. We even were able to walk to the train station 35 ish minutes away with luggage for our departure. Property would not suit someone who could not do stairs.
This is a lovely hotel. The owners are friendly and very welcoming. The hotel itself is clean, well situated & quiet. The building is in excellent condition and transport to Florence S.M.N is easy. Lots of amenities nearby, including a laundromat. Would definitely would recommend.
Firenze is really worth a visit - a very pleasant city.
About the hotel: the hotel is located 6 or 7 stops by tram (ticket costs 1.50) from the main train station, the area looks friendly, there is a large supermarket only about 200 meters away, but there are also a few other late night shops.
The hotel itself is 2* and for a 2* it's actually pleasant (but more on that later).
The reception is in the basement (-1), the lady there was friendly.
You then go up a flight of stairs (no elevator) to the room - but the staircase looks also friendly and freshly painted.
The room itself seemed gloomy, because it didn't have its own window, but the room next to it has a window.
This "next room" also houses huge boilers, which I have never seen anywhere else before in a Hotel.
Then follows another room: the bathroom.
Sounds a bit weird, and it was.
The bathroom was bright, clean and had a window.
Otherwise there was a wardrobe, a desk, 3 beds in our double room, a fridge and AC.
The AC is really important because the room itself had - as I wrote - no window.
You shouldn't open the windows in the boiler room or in the bathroom, because then you attract mosquitoes - but we were able to kill them.
What was really positive (and I'm very, very picky): everything was absolutely clean. You could eat off the floor. Also the bedsheets and the towels were clean and there was a good smell also in the staircase (a bit artificial, but good).
