We had a great stay at La Scaletta! Every staff member was very friendly, our room was spacious and clean, plus central location. One cool thing was to eat the breakfast at the rooftop reataurant with a nice view on Boboli gardens. Sometimes a bit noisy at night from people walking by on the street.
