I'm surprised that Katti House in Florence did not make your book. 5 min walk from train station, Duomo and Mercato made the location perfect for us. Most of the hotels in the area are large. This one is family run and the cheapest price I found and I do not feel the rooms suffered from its low cost. Maria, the owner, personally took care of us. I won't post website in case this violates forum, but the site is easily found. Katti House. Via Faenza, 21 50123 Firenze.

There have been several discussions/recommendations of this property in the Travel Forum. I don't know the reason that it was dropped from the 2015 edition of Rick Steves' Italy. It could be any one of several reasons, including reader feedback.
