4.3The door to the main entrance says to ring the bell, but try the door first! It was open, and I was embarrassed. The main concierge spoke English well, and was very friendly and welcoming. The room was a bit small, but there was room to move around, and the shower was nice (although you have to put your shampoo etc on the floor). The bed was comfy, although it looks a bit like a fold-out couch. The blinds are a bit tricky - look for the strap on the right (pull down to open, and pull out and up to close!). Oh, there is no hair dryer, so bring your own if you need one!
Apart from taking a taxi to and from the train station, we were able to walk everywhere else in Florence we wanted to visit. Be sure not to miss the statue of David. Your map to the museum it's housed in may fail to mention that the door is on the side (in case you have trouble finding it). Oh, and the breakfast is very nice - he brings you espresso and steamed milk for your latte, and the bread was fresh.
