10-minute walk to train station
“The location proves ideal: near Florence's main train station and a manageable walk to the Duomo and Galleria dell'Accademia. It's a remarkably quiet, family-friendly stay with personal touches, like breakfast on the patio with the resident cat and local tips from the hosts; I think it provides a real sense of place. I recommend this spot for an authentic, comfortable experience.”
