I truly enjoyed my stay at Benci House. The location was great, letting me explore Florence effortlessly. The room was beautifully designed, though it was a bit small for my liking. Breakfast at the nearby Moyo bar was satisfying, yet I found the noise from the bar below at night quite a distraction.
