We loved being right next to the Arno River. It was an easy walk to the Oltrarno area and just as easy to get to the main sites of the city. Our room was surprisingly large, but the windows were placed oddly high so that we could only look out of one of them from a small set of stairs if we tiptoed. The views from the rooftop bar were magnificent! We'd stay here again.
