Guest Reviews
- Diane (4/5): spoilt by the rude hosts and the stairs that are NOT mentioned in description no patio ?... - i have tried to click the above options but not sure if it worked ?? i like the location studio was basic with NO patio ? VERY DIFFICULT to get key information i was a lady arriving alone late evening due to delayed flight i was very tired from a long journey from UK it was my 1st time in Italy I was with 5 friends whom stayed at a hotel i booked later than them so it was full, I had been asking how i got the key for a while before arriving, never got a reply until the day i arrived, it said nothing on the description about STAIRS???? i was on the 3rd floor the man spoke to me on phone was very rude !!! told me climb the stairs to the top then a lady came and let me in she told me i had to pay 367euro as i had only left a deposit , but I knew I had paid in FULL on the day i booked ... she was shouting at me due to my late arrival , but not my fault as plane was delayed i did text to let them know ...i felt scared at their attitude to me very intimidating and bad impression on my first time in Italy VERY RUDE HOSTS !!!! the flat was basic and the bathroom needs an update the sink was leaking the shower basic the floor missing tiles an scruffy looking ....microwave did not work kettle to ages to boil no mats in bathroom ...just a few things to improve it now i am back in UK and it haunts me how RUDE the hosts were please change them!!!! THERE WAS NO PATIO EITHER AS THIS WAS in photos on booking.com ??
wifi was very bad too......
- garry (8/5): - la posizione le dimensioni delle stanze nn erano ottiamli
- Trees (7/5): Redelijk goed verblijf. Contact via whattsapp ook goed. Houd er rekening mee dat het appartement op de derde verdieping - De ligging t.o.v. het treinstation maar ook naar alle bezienswaardigheden . Alles goed te voet te doen. Keuken en slaapkamer zijn prima. De badkamer. De douchecabine is erg klein. De kraan bij de wastafel is ook niet echt je van het. De hele badkamer erg klein.
- Rita Maria (7/5): Bien - La ubicación.
El estudio bien. La escalera poco iluminada.
Falta de comunicación y respuestas
- Markovic (4/5): -
- Carolina (5/5): - La ubicación del lugar, el agua caliente de la ducha. No tenia como calentar el agua, el espacio no estaba del todo bien distribuido.
- Rivero (2/5): No recomendable - El apartamento tiene buena ubicación, cerca de la terminal de trenes, y de lugares de interés y comercios. Las fotos en Booking no se corresponden con el apartamento en el que estuvimos. El trato del dueño de la casa no fue el mejor, le pedimos los mandos de los aires y no los dió, alegando que no hacía calor, al llegar no teníamos agua caliente y tuvieron que venir a ponerla, por la noche habían mosquitos, la casa la entregaron sucia, se sentía el polvo en los zapatos, tuvimos que limpiarla, el baño principalmente, la casa está súper incómoda para el precio que exigían está súper cara. La conexión wifi solo había parado en la puerta principal.
- Ann (10/5): Très belle location - L'espace de la location.
La propreté
La situation géographique
Les lits confortables
Le calme Pas assez de couverts
Pas de bols
- Vincent (5/5): La localisation n’excuse pas tout - Sa localisation Sa disposition : une sorte de long couloir
Les fourmis dans la salle de bain.
L’absence de chauffage d’appoint.
Et surtout le manque de vaisselles : couverts en plastique, pas de verre à vin (comment déguster le Chianti?)
Ainsi que l’absence de condiments (pas la moindre dose de sucre ou de poivre…).
Peu agréable
- menaldi (1/5): El departamento del horror - La ubicación está bien pero no es el único alojamiento en la zona La higiene, sábanas manchadas, dudo hasta que laven las toallas. Un asco el sitio un asco dormir en ese lugar. Tuvimos que comprar sábanas y toallones nuevos
- Véronique (8/5): - Emplacement idéal pour découvrir la ville. Problème de chasse d'eau ( à réparer)
Il faut couper l'électricité chaque fois que on quitte l'appartement ( pas pratique)
- Milagros (7/5): -
- Joyce (8/5): - Complete amenities and superb location!
- Isabella Laudoni (3/5): - La posizione è davvero ottima: l’alloggio si trova a pochissima distanza dalla stazione di Firenze Santa Maria Novella, risultando estremamente comodo per chi arriva o parte in treno. Allo stesso tempo, è situato molto vicino al centro città, permettendo di raggiungere facilmente a piedi le principali attrazioni, i ristoranti e le zone più vive di Firenze, senza la necessità di utilizzare mezzi di trasporto. Questo rende la sistemazione particolarmente pratica e ideale per visitare la città in totale comodità. Ho soggiornato per 3 giorni insieme al mio gruppo di amiche. La comunicazione con l’host è stata praticamente inesistente: ho inviato una richiesta che non è mai stata presa in considerazione.
L’appartamento, dichiarato per 6 persone, non è adatto a questo numero. È presente un solo bagno, mentre dalle foto sembrava ce ne fosse un altro in camera, ma al nostro arrivo lo abbiamo trovato chiuso con una vite.
L’ambiente è molto umido e poco arieggiato: c’è una sola finestra, situata in una sola stanza. Inoltre, un letto è posizionato nel soggiorno e un altro si trova sotto una sorta di “scantinato”, estremamente umido e privo di ventilazione. Al nostro arrivo, tutta la biancheria da letto era umida, rendendo impossibile dormire in condizioni normali. Di conseguenza, siamo state costrette a dormire in tre per ogni letto matrimoniale, nonostante avessimo pagato per avere ciascuna il proprio posto letto.
Anche la pulizia era molto scarsa: abbiamo trovato persino dei popcorn in un cassetto, probabilmente lasciati da ospiti precedenti.
Beh che dire... è meglio non dire...
- Lynne (6/5): - The location was pretty good for sights. The room would be ok for 2 people but not really for 3. Second bed in living area not ideal. Couldn't sit 3 people at table. One towel each and no hand towel or tea towel provided.
- CORDA (1/5): Pessima esperienza!!! - La posizione: vicino al mercato centrale, alla stazione e al centro storico. I letti non a norma per due, se uno doveva alzarsi doveva scavalcare l'altro in quanto attaccato alla parete; il piumone con la muffa e inoltre formiche sul letto e in bagno; il bagno sprovvisto di un sapone per lavarci le mani all'arrivo; scalda salviette in bagno con uno strato di polvere nera; cucina sprovvista di utensili necessari (posate insufficienti per 4 persone, piatti e scodelle sbeccati e filati, non fornito di sacchetti per la raccolta differenziata).
- Alessio (8/5): -
- Juniele (7/5): - Il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole. Ho apprezzato molto la posizione, il comfort e la struttura dell'alloggio. Il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole. Ho apprezzato molto la posizione, il comfort e la struttura dell'alloggio. Tuttavia, credo che l'esperienza sarebbe stata ancora migliore con una comunicazione più rapida o centralizzata con l'host. Migliorare questo flusso di contatto aiuterebbe a evitare piccoli malintesi e renderebbe il processo più fluido per l'ospite.
- Fenna (1/5): Scam! - Scam! Don't book. I arrived in Florence and the owner was unreachable and never gave me information for check-in. Even Booking tried contacting him, but with no luck. Luckily Booking helped me find a new place to stay, but save yourself the troubles. Don't book! (also look at the google reviews because they are much worse than on Booking)
- Caio (5/5): Complicato. - Camera con tutto il necessario. Struttura non adatta a: disabili, anziani e bambini (non segnalato).Camera al 3 piano rialzato, senza ascensore,. Difficile da raggiungere, con scale ripide e potenzialmente pericolose.
- Amy-Mor (7/5): - Posizione ottima, appartamento pulito e accogliente Unico appunto: letti scomodi e cigolanti
- Gomez (8/5): -
- Claudio (7/5): -
- SONIA (2/5): - La posizione perché era in centro ma in ztl Personale scortese, ho chiesto degli asciugamani in più mai arrivati, sporco tutto l'ambiente, e gli asciugamani che avevamo erano pure strappati. Non ci hanno dato i telecomandi per accedere i condizionatori ed i termosifoni si accendevano alle 19...
- luana (6/5): -
- Torrance (7/5): - Location and ease of check in once contact was made Could have been cleaner. No knives and only one fork!!
- Christian (1/5): Terribile, esperienza da dimenticare. - ci e' stata consegnata una camera che non appariva da quelle proposte su booking, stanza fredda, molto piu' piccola e con macchie di umido, condizionatori con filtri sporchissimi, piumoni e materassi sottili, bagno angusto, sulla strada trafficata.
- Damiana (8/5): Soddisfacente - Tutto Forse l'umidità penso dovuta alla locazione dell' appartamento ed il fatto ke pur ristrutturando, siano muri di palazzi antichi. Cmq bel soggiorno. Siamo felici e contenti ☺️
- Feba (9/5): A perfect stay for a group of upto four - The kitchen was well-equipped. The apartment was spacious with large beds and good sunlight. The place was almost perfect. Nothing to complain
- Ivan (10/5): -
- Lara Maria (1/5): No volvería - La ubicacion El trato de la encargada fue pésimo, no contestaba los mensajes ni las llamadas, no nos dieron indicaciones para el check in así que estuvimos 20 min en el sol esperando a que alguien nos diga algo. No nos avisaron que no había ascensor. El departamento que nos dieron no coincidía con las fotos, no era de dos habitaciones, no tenia la cantidad de camas que decía la publicación y encima una de las camas no tenia sabanas y, como no contestan, no lo pudimos solucionar. Tampoco nos dejaron el control del aire acondicionado y no lo pudimos usar pese a que hacia calor. La limpieza regular.
- Luigi (5/5): - La posizione Le camere prive di pravasi, appartamento pieno di ragnatele
- Mat (10/5): - Apartamento Pulizia
- Dionigi (10/5): -
- Sebastian (9/5): -
- Teresa (1/5): No es como las fotos - Nada Se escucha todo en la habitación (hasta los pasos de la gente en el pasillo), nos intentaron cobrar el hotel dos veces solo que la segunda no pasó, nos entregaron la habitación a las 4pm y no le habían echo aseo
- elenamariacovino1980 (5/5): - Posizione centrale Predisposizione letti
- Vittorio (8/5): -
- Ivaylo (8/5): -
- 5 (4/5): - No dieron respuesta a mi pregunta
- Márcia (6/5): Central em Florença - Gostei muito do espaço como estava organizado. Gostei da proximidade de tudo: do elétrico de e para o aeroporto; da estação de comboio de Santa Maria Novella; de ficar a 8m do instituto onde estive a fazer formação; do Mercatto Centrale; da Trattoria ou Osteria Guelfa, etc. No entanto, de noite, era um pouco barulhento. Não gostei da falta de comunicação com os serviços. Era suposto vir uma pessoa ao prédio todas as manhãs e podermos contactar através de um número do whatsapp, mas só obtive resposta no penúltimo dia antes da minha saída e tinha o microondas avariado e o comando do aquecimento sem pilhas a funcionar. Coisas que a funcionária que acabou por vir dar assistência (de outro prédio noutra parte da cidade) resolveu em 10m. Poderia ter usufruído mais e melhor do espaço, principalmente nas refeições, se tivesse tido resposta logo. E estive lá 10 noites. No entanto, não deixa de ser uma excelente opção em Florença. Em especial, se os responsáveis aprenderem a comunicar!!!!
- Patrizia (5/5): - La posizione e il fatto di avere una casa indipendente La pulizia (vedi foto),la struttura era malandata e l'host assolutamente inesistente.Quando dovevamo arrivare ho avuto l'accortezza di inviare i documenti tramite whatsapp come indicato e non mi ha risposto.Dopo insistenza lo ha fatto e ho chiesto se potevamo anticipare di un paio d'ore il check:mai risposto.I termosifoni non funzionavano e ho chiesto il motivo e come risolvere (c'era zero gradi!):mai risposto.Inoltre le informazioni sul check out erano inesistenti e le ho dovute cercare nella prima mail (nelle altre strutture su booking mi arrivano le informazioni sia sul check in che sul checkout).Dulcis in fundo,la tassa di soggiorno l'ho dovuta cercare nella prima mail,e solo perché ero persona per bene, l'ho lasciata sul tavolo con 1 euro in più perché non li avevo cambiati,facendo la foto e mandandogliela e ovviamente anche a questo messaggio non ho mai avuto risposta.
- Liggio (7/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Eliane (5/5): appartement bien placé, près de la gare - cafetière sans manche, pas de petite casserole, pas assez de couverts, tiroir commode bloqué, pas de possibilité d'utiliser ce qu'il y avait dedans ? pas de torchon, distributeur de liquide vaisselle cassé. Pas facile de faire un peu de cuisine.
- Anny Cardona (8/5): Estadía cómoda - La cocina estaba bien equipada, pudimos hacer desayuno. Cama cómoda. El espacio es pequeño, pero si solo llegas a dormir está bien. Para mi no fue problema pero puede que para otros si: Tener en cuenta que hay que subir escaleras.
- Amanda (8/5): Muito muito bom pelo preço e localização! - Localização excelente, apartamento espaçoso, banheiro bom!!! A comunicação e o pagamento foram meio difíceis no início mas depois tudo foi resolvido facilmente antes da estadia
- Marco (6/5): good location but bathroom to improve - Good location near the centre and nearby there are bar and restaurant Clean of bathroom
A little bit of Humidity
- Ricardo (4/5): - La ubicaciòn era buena No tuvimos contacto personal alguno con el anfitriòn, las cerraduras de la puerta solo trancaban desde dentro por lo que al salir solo podìamos dejar la puerta cerrada pero sin ninguna tranca de seguridad.
- Rodrigo (5/5): Good location with terrible service - The location is good. Near the train station and near the historical center. Lack of communication and just overall lack of care from the owners.
- Gallardo (1/5): Fatal - La ubicación y el departamento no están mal El check in en teoría era 14:30 y la habitación no estuvo lista hasta las 16. Nos dejaron fuera con un bebé de un año y las valijas un día súper lluvioso! Un desastre no lo recomendaría y definitivamente no volvería!! Intenté contactarme con el anfitrión quien jamás contestó a pesar de llamar varias veces al número proporcionado.
- Eva (8/5): Esta bien - Ubicacion Teniamos que poner la llave en una llave de luz para poder tener luz dentro del apartamento, es decir que si querias tener algo en la nevera y no ibas a estar en el apartamento, no se iba a enfriar. Y luego el wifi no llegaba casi a ninguna parte del apartamento.
- Salvatore (9/5): -
- jean (3/5): apppartement ( le N° 9) tres bien situé mais indigne d'etre loué; on s'est adaptes; prix excessif - sous les toits non isolé
un couloir
un passage de 10 cm pour aller d'une chambre l'autre
6 couchages mais 1 cuiller à café et deux couteaux pas un verre à vin
frigo hors de la cuisine et hote aspirante non fonctionnelle
- Florence Boin (6/5): - Le calme et l emplacement de l appartement. Le message que je devais recevoir le matin du jour d arrivée, pour avoir les codes , je ne l ai jamais reçu. Il a fallu que j appelle booking pour l avoir au moment où je suis arrivée. Je n étais pas là seule dans ce cas, des voisins ont vécu la même situation.
L équipement en vaisselle et très insuffisant en nombre et qualité.
- Svyatoslav (7/5): -
- Giuliana (7/5): -
- Fran-Fran (10/5): Buona posizione - Buona posizione. Poco ricambio d'aria in quanto mancavano finestre, disposizione delle stanze diverse da come apparivano nelle foto (è un corridoio piuttosto che stanze separate, si doveva passare davanti ad un letto per andare in bagno).
- Frigyes (9/5): -
- stephane (7/5): -
- Diego (8/5): -
- Lambert (9/5): - Ouderwets;maar gerieflijk.
Matras van grote bed erg hard
De ligging is fantastisch direct in het centrum. Het matras van het grote bed,en de vele trappen
- MIRTA RAQUEL (7/5): - La ubicacion.cerca de todo Las escaleras
- Maria Donatella (2/5): Very uncomfortable stay - Location is optimal The apartment was not clean.
One bedroom is a big corridor without door
The facilities are very poor.
The team has been not nice with us. I would not suggest the place
- Malamou (6/5): - Η τοποθεσία, η μικρή αυλή Η καθαριότητα,μύριζε υγρασία, τα σεντόνια δεν φαινόταν καθαρά
- Alvarez (8/5): - Me gustó. La ubicación, la limpieza No me gustó lo restringido de las zonas de circulación, por los ambientes. Que no encontramos plancha
- Tania (3/5): -
- AUGUSTO (8/5): -
- Paulina (8/5): Solo llegábamos a dormir - El aparato estaba limpio, le faltaba claridad, bien situado, Las gradas y nunca encontramos personal la dirección bien difícil de encontrar.
- Stefania (7/5): Un appoggio senza pretese in centro a Firenze - La posizione é ottima. Comoda alla stazione e al centro. L'appartamento era corrispondente alle immagini presenti su booking e il personale con noi e stato gentile e disponibile. É un appartamento adatto se vi adattate e non avete troppe pretese. I letti erano comodi e anche il frigo che non si stacca con la rimozione delle chiavi é stato apprezzato. Nonostante le giornate fossero particolarmente calde e rimuovendo la chiave i condizionatori smettevano di funzionare non abbiamo patito il caldo nelle stanze al nostro rientro. Sicuramente migliorabile. Prima di tutto la pulizia non era eccelsa, lo spazio tra il letto e la parete é davvero minimo per passare e anche alcuni accessori nella cucina dovrebbero essere sostituiti.
- Ana Isabel (3/5): Servicios mínimos - mala comunicación - Ubicación La comunicación con el alojamiento fue difícil. Solo respondían a las llamadas y me daban largas cuando preguntaba algo y tenía que volver a llamar. Para pedir la factura que necesitaba tuve que volver a llamar varias veces. Por otro lado, el alojamiento no contaba con unas toallas decentes, pues las que nos pusieron estaban muy viejas y ni siquiera había lavaplatos y hubo que comprarlo.
- Zak (7/5): Good -
- Isabel (7/5): Good -
- Varinder (1/5): We waited for a very long time outside, called the property manager repeatedly, but no one answered. - We waited for a very long time outside, called the property manager repeatedly, but no one answered. After calling many times, we spoke to the manager, who was a woman. Her manner and behavior were very bad. I stood outside in the sun with my children for a very long time. I made a mistake by booking this room. I wasted 2 days of my vacation. I did not enjoy my stay. I will never come here again.
- Ornela (5/5): Passable - The communication with the host wasn’t the best. He wasn’t polite and even get annoyed during the conversation or when asked for something. The furniture. You should pas through a room to go the other and the passage was so tight. One of the room has no door.
- Dancho (5/5): Passable - Only location is the best, bear 200 meters from
near centre. The flat i so small for 5 or six persons. The bed linen was old and smelled bad. The woman who checked us in, after realizing that we would be one less person, took away one of the towels!!!
- Ona (2/5): Very poor -
- Mark (5/5): Excellent location. Less than average apartment. Awful host. - Excellent location. Host was ignoring messages asking if early check-in was possible. We only asked whether it was possible, but received no answer at all. Very infuriating and insulting.
- George (6/5): It was nice, basic, - Cozy It could of been cleaner
- Muis (7/5): Fine - The location of the property was very good. Everything is on walking distance. Unfortunately there are not many windows in de room, so almost no sunlight or daylight. There were some difficulties with the check-in, because nobody picked up at the number we were supposed to call.
The rest was good.
- Debra (4/5): Although my apartment was disappointing, Florence is still a beautiful city. - Location was great. About 5 minutes walk from the main train station 1. The apartment was not ready when I arrived at 3PM.
2. No confirmation from the contact person
3. My apartment was on the 3rd floor. Was not notified of that possibility.
4. NO Wifi.
- Weronika (4/5): Disappointing - Good location, lots of space Smell, big humidity, bedsheets for second bed were not provided at the beginning, not very clean
- Jackie (6/5): Good location - Easy central location for heading out and about and around ten mins from train station. If you just want somewhere to bed down for a few nights it does the job, do not expect anything fancy and the pictures are a little misleading. Very dated, beds aren't the comfiest at all so no one in our party slept too well. Wasn't expecting the Ritz but expected a bit more for cost. Everything worked even if dated etc, but personally wouldn't stay here again
- Andrei (6/5): Pleasant -
- Heather (8/5): Comfortable and good location - Good location, has air conditioning and Wi-Fi. It was pretty much perfect for our group. Quite different to get around the apartment because of bed positioning. Quite a stressful few days leading up to booking as the host doesn’t usually answer messages, better to phone via WhatsApp.
- Karol (3/5): Not good enough facilities-Difficult to access - The location was good. The person in charge is quite rude,she didn't answer the mobile until the 3rd try. There is no details on how to access the building you just have to wait under the sun until the mobile is answered so someone opens the door.Apart from your recervation, the lady charges a tax that was not mentioned on the booking requesting the payment in cash( €180). We stayed in a room for 6 people, and we only had 1 bathroom. Needless to say, it was a nightmare to get ready. There is no elevator, so if you gonna bring heavy pieces of luggage and the room is on the last floor, be ready ( my brother and his wife had to).
- Michael (8/5): Very good - Closer to the train station, easy access to walk into town. Air conditioner, washing machine, fridge, all very helpful to have. Top floor, no lift. Might be listed in the description, but beware if you have a heavy suitcase. Although there is a kitchen, some items are missing - can opener and cork screw - so you might need to bring them with you.
- Edward (7/5): Decent low budget stay in Florence - great for groups of young travellers who don’t mind a bit of unpredictability - Well equipped apartment, fitted with working white goods. We were lucky and got the bottom floor, so we had an outside patio as well. The AC worked very well, which was nice as a Brit who doesn’t do well with heat xD. Once we checked in with the accommodation, there were little problems. Also, the location is absolutely AMAZING, making everything super walkable, which is great if you don’t want to spend any money on transport. The ladies who greeted us were very friendly as well. The build up to checking in was very stressful; i had no response to any messages which I had sent months before the check in date, and i only heard a response from them as we were stood outside of the flat at the time we were due to check in. It was not nice hearing any further confirmation about the checking in, which made it very stressful leading up. Also, as heard from other reviews of this place, it seems to be a bit of pot luck with whether you get a nice room or not. We were lucky, however.
- Stephan (1/5): Huge disappointment - The location was fairly convenient. The hosts communication is shockingly bad. When I eventually reached him after several unanswered messages to arrange access he told me they have too many properties to manage to answer all correspondence. The worst was that the host extorted a cash payment from me upon my arrival with all my luggage. I was told in an intimidating way that I had to pay the city taxes and other fees in cash even though I was never warned about this. I was forced to incur unexpected effort and expenses to procure the cash to do so. The room was dirty (dust on cupboards, hairs in shower). The shower was lukewarm and the water pressure very bad. The Wi-Fi was poor (came and went) and there was no couch in the room as advertised on the sight. No balcony and nothing like the photos shown. The bedding and towels were grimy and worn. The room was on the third floor with no elevator or assistance to carry heavy suitcases up all the flights of steps.
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Really good Place to stay for a grupo, Great Location and clean!
- Anders (8/5): Very good -
- Saul (9/5): Wonderfull apartment - Wonderfull apartment, has everything you need and is close to the city!
- Husnu (5/5): Economical Stay, Great Location, but Do not Expect Much, Can be Tiring for Families - very close to the city and convenient location
the beds and facilities were exactly the mentioned, no surprise on that level.
owner responds to messages immediately
There is abundant plates, cups and cooking stuff. You can have all materials to accommodate your stay. There is even washing machine (we did not use). 1) the bathroom did not have enough soap and shampoo
2) The towels were old, did not look very clean
3) we got the sense that the flat was not clean.
4) The design of the flat is tiring. It is very difficult to reach to bath and the second room through first room since the bed is next to the wall to walk.
5) Parking is problem. There is private parking facility in 50 meters; but it charges 25 Euros per nigh stay for cars, 45 Euros for vans. Yet, the owner mentions in the website that they don't provide a parking. yet maybe they can negotiate a discount with the private parking place since they provide discounts to hotels in the vicinity.
- Kalinová (5/5): Acceptable for budget trips - For the price and location it was acceptable and for a small group of friends, I probably couldn't wish for more since we were on a budget. It is very close to the Santa Maria Novella train station, so you won't go far with your luggage. The photos show you some rooms and you might get a completely different one, so beware. Our room didn't have an oven for example (even tho it was said it would).
Communication is very difficult, getting in touch with the owner through messages is impossible, by calling is possible but also very difficult to get a hold of them. It is also much easier to know basic Italian than to only rely on English.
Don't forget to have the city fee in cash!
- Navarro-bowman (8/5): Spacious, convenient with issues; overall it's ok a 7 and I'm pretty flexible with ratings. - What I liked was the spaciousness of the apartment. It had high ceilings and there was a kitchen table with chairs. The washing machine was a big plus as we were there 5 nights. The bed was very hard. I slept on the futon/couch which was somewhat better. My wife slept on the day bed. We asked for help in turning on the AC and never got an answer. Also there was no coffee machine as listed unless you consider a kettle a coffee machine.
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (6/5): Pleasant -
- Federico (7/5): Good -
- Jodie (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great. Working washer. Cramped for our group size- double bed in the kitchen. Air conditioning not strong enough for size apartment
