“The hotel's commitment to sustainability impressed me, especially given its location in a late 1800s building. The location is very convenient, near the Market of San Lorenzo and with easy access to local dining, that makes it a practical choice. In my opinion, it balances budget-friendliness with a genuine Florentine experience.”
