location, location, location - right in the middle, I cannot think of a more perfect location for a hostel in florence. the house is beautiful, the rooms are actually quite ok, mine was small, but with a wonderful view, antique floors and large windows.
the personnel i met was really friendly.
the (shared) bathrooms, however, are neither pretty, nor functional, nor inviting. they smell bad. i did not shower, but washed in the sink in my room.
the noises from outside were no problem for me - the windows are good and, well, you are in the MIDDLE of florence, don‘t expect complete silence. the walls inside, however, are very thin - greetings to the couple having a great time next door.
you should know what to expect here - if you do, i believe it‘s a good choice for low budget travelling.
i highly recommend the restaurant right next door!
