“The hotel strikes me as a surprisingly affordable base, given its coveted location in Florence's historic heart. I imagine its smaller size lends itself to a more intimate, family-run atmosphere, a nice contrast to the city's bustle. If you appreciate being steps from the main station and major sights, and don't mind some quirks, this could be a solid choice.”
