Guest Reviews
- Yiannakis (7/5): Εντελώς στο κέντρο, για μας, επειδή είχαμε ενοικιασει αυτοκίνητο, δεν ήταν το ιδανικό κατάλυμα. - Η τοποθεσία φανταστική κοντά στην παλιά πόλη, ποταμό, αξιοθέατα, με supermarket και φαγητά, παγωτα, εστιατόρια όλα στα πόδια σου. Μόνο που είναι στην κλειστή πόλη και δεν προσφέρεται για κάποιο που έχει αυτοκίνητο γιατί δεν μπορεί να το χρησιμοποιά ελεύθερα. τα κλιματιστικά δουλεύαν με μόνο ένα τηλεχειριστήριο. Το κλιματιστικό στο δωμάτιο έκλεινε συνέχεια. Το πρωί την συγκεκριμενη περίοδο είχε φασαρία απο την πολυκατοικία που φαίνεται ότι είχε άλλο διαμέρισμα που ήταν υπό ανακαίνιση. Τα κλιματιστικά χρειάζονται καθάρισμα επειγόντως! Οι τοίχοι χρειάζονται βάψιμο. Όλα τα παράθυρα βλέπουν εσωτερικά στο κτήριο.
- Andrea Silvana (7/5): - La ubicación es inmejorable, y tiene un supermercado abajo que nos salvó. Esta ubicado casi dentro del Ponte Vecchio. Muy buena la calefacción y comodas las camas Eramos 5, había 4 tenedores, 4 sillas, 4 cucharas y cero cucharitas. El quinto dirmia en un sillon cama del living/comedor/cocina que quedaba totalmente anulada, ocupaba todo. Moverse era como un juego de tetris
El lavarropas anda mal, no hay microondas y dejaron 2 rollos de papel higiénico para 5 personas y 3 noches.
- Nick (3/5): Disappointing Stay - Location is super, bed was very comfortable, good towels. We coped despite below. There was no heating and it's chilly in evening. We got 1 air conditioner to blow warm in kitchen/diner/sitting room. Reported no heating. After being asked to try some things they got technical to turn up. He seemed nice and concerned but could not fix, had to refer to supervisor or owner to turn heating on. He came back same evening to make sure we had warmth from air conditioner. But then nothing, no fix, no messages. Bathroom was chilly, towels only dried properly if brought into kitchen. We were there 5 nights.
Lack in kitchen facilities. We were left with drip of washing up liquid and one dirty, blackened scourer for washing up. We replaced both. Handles of some cutlery were broken, no teaspoons, 2 mismatched wine glasses and on plastic one. Broken toaster.
No toilet brush, stain on settee, notice on wall to throw rubbish out referred to house manual that didn't exist. I could. go on.
Looking back at reviews some of these have been pointed out before but not fixed.
All speaks of a disregard for guest care and consideration when it would be so easy and inexpensive to fix.
Booking.com should not allow this state to carry on.
I did message Fares, our contact, at the end with thoughts about heating. There was, as expected, no response.
All windows open on to back yards so no views but it could be a decent place if looked after and equipped properly.
- James (2/5): - Starting at 6am above you is so loud. Doesn’t matter the day, dragging something back and forth all morning, you will not get rest here do not book
- Antiniska (8/5): Ottima posizione, buona la struttura. - La posizione I condizionatori era troppo impolverati.
- Ruslan (10/5): -
- Tunde (9/5): - Excellent location, clean flat. Communication with the agent was excellent.
- Atticus (8/5): - Lovely flat for 4 of us. Very convenient for walking into the city. Literally 2 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio. Great to be able to cook. Excellent grocery downstairs.
- Gennadiy (2/5): - Location is five stars, but:
- heavy black mold in the 2x2 shower was really bad, from the ground to the ceiling
- entire apartment was filthy, from furniture to the walls, looks like a run down motel with dirty air conditioners.
- after notifying the Host of the mold and health issue allergies, they sent someone next day to spray bleach on the black mold. They didn’t clean it, we just smelled all of our trip.
- walls a thin enough to hear the water going down the drain pipes, you can hear everything.
- The mattress was extremely poor quality — it had no cushioning at all, just exposed springs you could feel and even grab with your fingers. It sagged in the middle and the springs poked through, making it nearly impossible to sleep on.
- to top it off, our bag was stolen. We had a summer hat in the green beach bag, the hat was removed from the bag and the bag was taken by who ever was in our apartment.
This was our worst stay and did not do justice to our vacation, which was very upsetting. Wild part is Expedia said they can’t do anything about it, they only process payments and any refunds or cancellations after check in, you have to deal with the host. Expedia nor the host helped in anyway. We were very surprised.
- Manikandan (7/5): Good - Decent apartment located near the old bridge Handwash, vessel washing liquid, salt, sugar, oil etc could help for families that like to cook
- Tracey (10/5): - The location of this stay was A+! Beautiful area and walkable to most attractions in Florence. It was comfortable and had everything to offer during our stay! Highly recommend:)
- Shefali (8/5): - Great location but approach to the property is not the best. Area is under renovation.
- Tamar (10/5): Perfect, easy - Great location
Supermarket in the same building
Hospitality
- Sarra (8/5): Very good -
- Giannis (8/5): Very good - The location was excellent and the apartment was clean and comfortable. The washing machine and the toaster were out of order
- Edel (8/5): - Está justo al lado del puente.
- Adina (6/5): Good location - Location of the apt is great, but the apt was very basic. Bathroom tub is extremely narrow, cannot even put a soap dish or a shampoo next to you or bent down. Walls are thin and you can hear everything from other apt. Also it was a lot of noise coming from the store beneath that was opening very early. Kitchen is very poorly equipped. Also no toiletries.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place! Everything is walking distance. perfect location
- Wayne (10/5): Granddaughter Trip - It was ideal for our stay and very central for our activities
- Razvan (9/5): Superb -
- Jodi (6/5): Great Location - We loved being in the Oltrano neighborhood. While it is home to the Pitti Palace and Boboli Garden, it felt more residential than the other parts of Florence we explored. We also loved being so close to the river. The apartment itself was ok and served its purpose.
- Kate (7/5): Modern, clean and central apartment. Very compact. - Clean and modern. Very good location near bridge and supermarket. Very compact apartment. Not much space for cases etc. No kitchen bin
- Anonymous (5/5): Passable -
- Halina (6/5): Good - Easy contact with host.Central location. It wasn’t super clear in the apartment. Kitchen was so small and we have only 2 glasses for 4 person .In the shower we don’t have any place for cosmetics.2nd bedroom was really very small.The apartment is located over the supermarket so every morning it was very noise.For this price we expected a little bit more comfortable place .
- Michael (4/5): Great location but needs a lot of attention - avoid unless improvements made - Great location in Florence and easy to reach everything. Check in was fantastic and host was brilliant with good comms There was black mould growing on several of the walls in most of the rooms. There had been no visible attempt to deal with this and my daughter has left the property with quite a severe respiratory infection.
Additionally the equipment in the apartment was poor - two glass cups and three gin glasses were the only drinking receptacles. a dribble of washing up liquid, one bin liner and half a toilet roll - not great at all. The apartment wasn’t cheap and people expect a minimal level of comfort and facility which this did not fulfil
- Brianna (7/5): Great Location! - The location was great. There were restaurants, bars, supermarket etc really close by. The flat was fairly clean and had a lift/one flight of stairs. The flat needs to be aired out in between bookings. There needs to be some minor adjustments to stuff provided such as outlet adapters for the toaster and iron and make sure cleaning stuff such as dish washing detergent is at the flat.
- Gemma (6/5): Pleasant -
