  : The location is as perfect as you can get. One block from the Duomo, and three blocks from the San Lorenzo. As Florence isn't a large city, you are within 15 minutes of all the sights and restaurants. The reception was very friendly, and the owner took the time to inform us (and mark on a map) where the museums, palazzos, and places to eat were (and we have enough recommendations now to fill another trip to Florence) Breakfast is very simple: you order what you want from the breakfast lady (I recommend the stuffed croissants and the torta della nonna), and it is served in your room not long after. If you need breakfast outside of normal hours, the owner can direct you to a bar that is open early. The room was spacious and quiet, and the rooms had shutters to keep the light out. Combined with the good mattresses, we slept like roses. There is air conditioning, though we did not use it, as it was only April. There was also a fridge, which comes in handy if you want to keep your drinks cool or if (like us), you find the perfect cheese or meat to take home with you. Bathroom is tiny and only had a shower, but the water was very warm and never ran out, so you can be assured you'll end and/or start your day clean and refreshed. Last but very much not least, I asked to arrange a taxi to the airport, and this was done efficiently and without fuss.
  : While I do not have any major things I did not like about the accomodation itself, it is worth noting that Florence is an old city with very tight sidewalks. So be careful when arriving or leaving at busy times.

  : If being close to the sights is important, this place is perfect. The staff were AMAZING. Alif was helpful and kind. The women in the kitchen were great and made an excellent cafe con leche. Everything was clean and the bathroom was great. Very good sized shower. BIG room.
  : Street traffic was LOUD. My fault when booking - didnt realize how in the middle of everything it was. The room was hot. They hadnt turned on the air conditioning yet for the season and it was a new system which no one knew how to use. And the room was sterile. Needed a rug, art on the wall, a lamp.

  : Very close to all attractions. Elif, the receptionist was very accommodating and arranged for our breakfast every morning if we need to leave early than 8 am. The room was very clean and recently updated. Its so close to the San Lorenzo market where ready cooked food is found in the whole second floor. We ate at Trattoria Zsa Zsa near the market, and the Truffle sauce pasta was excellent. I highly recommend B&B de Biffi.
  : Its next on the street, therefore we can hear the noise of street cars at night. Just bring earplugs.
