There is a window separating the two bathrooms, but a large open space between them allows me to see reflections from the other bathroom and hear the guests talking as if they were in the same room.

Everything was within a 20-30 minute walk. Front desk was very helpful in giving suggestions for both touristy things and dining options. A little noisy but honestly didnt mind it. Wifi was almost non existing my room but as soon as i got to the door it was great. Terrace on the second floor was great too. Great bang for your buck overall.

When I first saw the property, I was shocked….it’s one of those weird art deco places and I thought it was just so poorly kept up. I still don’t like the design, but they had an excellent A/C, breakfast was fine with fresh fruits, cheese, eggs, etc. The hotel was in short walking distance to a safe and great laundry and was in short walking distance to the Duomo, Accademia, Medici Chapel, etc. There were two restaurants that we great…one was Napoli pizza, the other was a couple of doors down and was packed. It had writing all over the walls, but was over the top amazing food. This latter one was a little pricy, but I would have eaten there a second time if I hadn’t discovered it on my last night in Firenza. The area was on the outskirts enough that it was very quiet. I did request taxis to the train station for a trip to Siena and a last minute tour of the other side of Arno, as I hadn’t planned that part well and ran out of time due to taking a day to Siena. We were so close to Medici Chapel that We saw it the morning we left and no crowds! I was thrilled. Out of 5 times of going to Florence/Firenza, that was a first time, and no crowds!
