Lovely stay!
We were supposed to arrive in the evening, however due to change of our plans we arrived before 12 pm and were well welcomed by Tiziana, she was sweet and personable. She gave us the map of Firenze and recommended the places to visit - that was lovely! The B&B has an elevator which is a big plus! The room was spotless clean with a comfortable bed. Also, we enjoyed the breakfast in the morning - simple and tasty! The only small minus was we didn't have a mirror in the room (we got the one with the external bathroom). It would have been nice to have one in the room.

Good hotel
At first we were a bit apprehensive as we thought we’d booked a hotel and it looked like someone’s house. Tentatively I rang the door and someone appeared from the street a couple of minutes later to check us in. It was indeed 2 apartments on the top floor converted into a bed and breakfast. There was a lift to take us up. The room was basic but clean and functional. A small breakfast was available in the morning. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Situated 10 min walk from station and a further 10 to the start of the centre of Florence, it was relatively handy for a base. A small bus at €1.50 into town was a good option to start then walk back
