Very nice, easy going and accommodating host, on site all the time, ready to help if you need it. Nice simple Italian breakfast served in the morning. If it's busy you might need to wait your turn.
About 15 min walk to the main basilica and the tower. About 10 min walk to the train station.
It's an old palace and so the facilities are in tune with the old style Florence, so do not expect modern hotel-like interiors. You can borrow books and games as well.
We liked it very much and would recommend it, no doubt.
