Guest Reviews

• yoonyoung (10/5): - 우선 너무 넓어서 좋았습니다. 그리고 사전에 미리 왓츠앱으로 들어오는법을 엄청 자세히 안내해주셔서 어려움 없이 들어올 수 있었어요. 이런 숙소 특성 상 먼저 연락을 안주시면 난감한 경우가 정말 많은데 여기는 그런게 없어서 너무 좋았습니다! 숙소도 깨끗했어요!! 화장실도 넓고 침대도 편하고 좋았습니다!~~ 다른 후기에서 말하는 방음인데, 저희는 잘 잤습니다! 크게 소음에 예민하지 않으시면 좋습니다! 청소랑 수건이 따로 교체되진 않습니다!
• ShangTse (10/5): An excellent choice for a stay in Florence. - The place was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed, and the addition of a Moka pot and coffee was a lovely, thoughtful touch. The beds were also great—i had a wonderful night's sleep. Best of all was Margherita; she was incredibly kind and went out of her way to help us with any questions, which made us feel completely at ease." None
• Nutthaya (9/5): -
• Ildefonso Cerutti (2/5): - apto bom Barulho absurdo,todas as noites sem conseguir dormir, nota zero.Proprietarios sao cientes do barulho,deveriam providenciar janelas ANTI RUIDOS
• MARIIA (10/5): - Потрясающая квартира. Большие апартаменты, очень красивая мебель, все удобно и чисто . Но нет лифта - это надо учесть если у вас тяжелый чемодан. Единственный совет - берите с собой беруши , тк ночью бывает громко на улице - молодежь гуляет. Также супер удобно, что недалеко вокзал - быстро и удобно дойти даже с чемоданом.
• Alex (10/5): Fully recommend! - The location A bit of a heating issue but nothing major
• Giachino (10/5): Vivir en Firenze - Bella, cómoda y la anfitriona Mónica muy amable.
• Anne (9/5): -
• Marianna (8/5): Location was excellent, close to everything? The place had everything you need. - The location, it was close to the train station, and walkable to all important sites. The ladies running the apartment were wonderful. They were attentive, and responded to every question and need, and made the check-in and check-out smooth and easy. It was noisy, we couldn’t fall asleep, especially during the weekend, and you could hear everything on the street and the building as if it’s in your room. It wouldn’t be a problem if you don’t have young kids going to sleep early.
• Jessica (8/5): Charming flat in super convenient location. Can be noisy, especially weekend nights. - Very convenient location handy for the station and all sights - we walked everywhere. The flat is nicely decorated clean and comfortable and well equipped. Nice to have a clothes washing machine. The narrow street is mostly quiet but all noise echoes. Because the flat is only one floor up it can be very loud. Saturday night was very noisy until 3 or 4 am. The other nights were ok. The windows are charming but quite old and don't close tightly. Double glazing would probably help! The bathroom is accessible through the bedroom which was a little awkward for my daughter sleeping in the living room, but it was fine.
• Misha (10/5): Excellent location, big and bright flat, a terrific stay for this family of 4. - Easy walk from the train station. Flat was bigger than expected. Lots of space to put bags. Big windows, lots of light, attractive decor. Easy to walk anywhere. 15m or so to Uffizi, 10m to the Duomo, Medici Chapel, etc. Can be a bit loud at night from the restaurant/bar, but we turned up our rain machine, and it was not a problem. We slept fine.
• Slawomir (10/5): Doskonały wyjazd - Duży, przestronny apartament. Bardzo dobrze wyposażony we wszystko, co potrzebne. Duża kuchnia z miejscem na posiłek. Komfortowy salon. Duża, oddzielna sypialnia. Bardzo wygodne łóżko. I życzliwi, pomocni właściciele. Świetna lokalizacja. Blisko wszędzie. Absolutnie do powtórzenia przy okazji kolejnego pobytu we Florencji

• Vadym (10/5): -
• Man Ying (9/5): - Insulation of the windows for noise from the street was not good
• Sheba (10/5): -
• IOANNA (10/5): Elegant apartment! - Very spacious and elegant apartment in close distance to everything. It had everything we needed. Very clean. What we loved the most is the privacy someone can have since all the spaces are separated, living room, kitchen and bedroom. Very nice and helpful people Thank you for the great hospitality Everything was great
• Maradiaga (9/5): Great location and very comfortable, fully recommended - Communication was amazing, very helpful staff, it was clean and comfortable, nice space, location was amazing, near train station and walking distance to touristic attractions, it is in a 1st floor, so its easy to carry luggage, close to bar and restaurants, internet works properly, fully recommended Everything was great
• Ian Scott (2/5): Very disappointed in this property would not recommend it. - This property should not be listed please reconsider..... our experience was most horrific. The apartment is located closed to the railway station and close to most facilities in Florence - there the benefit stops. We had three unforgettable nights. We arrived late due to rail issues and been given instructions via mobile on locating the property and how to find the keys located at the end of the street near a bike rack in a locked box. Entering the foyer to the apartment building the lighting was difficult to find and then what awaited us was stairs to the first floor, doesn't sound much try with baggage and lighting that switches off after a couple minutes leaving you in complete darkness. Once inside the apartment our first impressions were favourable. However, none of the windows sealed properly. Our view was to another building directly opposite. We experienced continuous street noise from road traffic, pedestrians and revellers using the street as a thoroughfare. The restaurant opposite had patrons gathering talking and smoking until very early morning and topping it off - the regular 5am street sweepers and rubbish collection workman adding to the discomfort.
• Giannina (10/5): Impecable y comodo - El apartamento era muy comodo y amplio, tenia todo lo necesario, incluso para una estancia de varios dias. La joven que nos recibio, muy atenta y amable, nos proveyó de jabon para lavar la ropa, ya que veniamos de varios dias de viaje, lo que fue genial! Las camas y las almohadas muy comodas, y todo muy limpio. Volveria a Florencia y me alojaria nuevamente aquí! Lo unico, que hay que subir por escaleras con el equipaje, pero la anfitriona nos ayudó. De todos modos, aparentemente, es comun que suceda esto en Italia, por la antiguedad de las construcciones.

• Emília (10/5): Szép, tágas lakás a belvároshoz közel. - Szép lakás Firenze központjától rövid sétára, de nagyon közel van a vasútállomás is, ami megkönnyíti az elérését. Nagyon kedves volt a házigazda, mindent megmutatott, elmagyarázott, hogy hogyan működik a lakásban. Alap dolgokkal jól fel van szerelve a konyha, így főzni is könnyen lehet. A mosógépet is használtuk, jól működött. A klíma is kellően hűtött. A lakás tágas, 3-4 fő kényelmesen elfér.
• Marius (9/5): Superb - A lot of good things: the place is clean, the AC is new and efficient, WiFi is fast, water is hot, the shower is big and the bed is comfortable. The location is also very close to most attractions. The windows do not close properly so outside noises like random people shouting in the night and demolishing works in the morning get loud and will wake you up. For this I consider the price too high.
• Dilara (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was as good, just a pair of hotel slippers can be a significant improvement
• Pallavi (9/5): Superb - Only negative was at night it was very noisy and felt unsafe as some men would talk very loudly on the street all night
• Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eva (9/5): A very comfortable and convenient place to stay when visiting Florence. - Great location, close to everything in Florence, plus 5mins away from the train station. Quite noisy at night, as the windows are not insulated.
• Elman (10/5): Exceptional - Cleaning and location was super. It would not be better. We loved. Thanks to Mrs. Monica for her help and kindness. Nothing.
• Zuzana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (9/5): Superb - Great location, excellent response from host, very comfortable for a family of 3 (can easily accomodate 4 people) Could have a refresh of some things in the kitchen area
• Abby (10/5): Exceptional - Isabella was an excellent host. The check-in instructions were easy to follow and very helpful. The apartment is amazing, lots of space. All the facilities you need, a highchair and travel cot for our baby. Isabelle even provided us with recommendations for local restaurants and things to do, all were amazing. So close to the train station The road is quiet with no traffic. There was work taking place on the road and this was a little noisy. But totally fine and THE only aspect but this wouldn't happen all the time. We slept fine. It really is a wonderful place
• Dasom (8/5): Very good -
• Beck (9/5): Happy to recommend & would definitely stay again. Communication was first rate & instructions clear & easy t - Beautifully decorated & presented, great location Everything was great
• Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matt (9/5): perfect apartment stay in florence - the location was very close to the train station but on a more quite street. We loved the large windows, and furnishings and especially the bathroom and bed, we liked everything and nothing was bad for us. A balcony or terrace would have been wonderful :- )
• Mehmet (10/5): A stylish and lovely apartment at a very good location - Wonderful apartment at a very good location. Beautifully furnished, very comfortable. The apartment had all the amenities you would need at your home. Supermarket nearby. Lots of cafes and dining options nearby. The train station is few hundred meters away. Many baggage deposit locations nearby. The host was very nice and always in communication. Self check in was very easy. We just loved it. Nothing to complain about. It was pure perfection. Thank you!
• Guillermo (8/5): Nice stay, Florence is amazing, this flat is a great place to stay. - Really nice location, clean flat, good decoration. The windows doesn’t isolate from street noise, so, there is plenty of activity early morning.
• Adrianne (10/5): Beautiful apartment, amazing attention given when needed, comfortable and easy walking, close to all and train station - Clean, convenient location, great support Some stairs
• Abbas (10/5): Decent price and overall cute place - Location. Staff was responsive. The bathroom sink drain was not working, and the staff couldn't address it right away. We just had to find a solution ourselves. Overall, the place was nice.
• Craig (10/5): Nice stay in Florence. Very convenient location and clean apartment. - Great location and bright room.
• Margaret (5/5): Lovely but noisy flat - This property was close to many things, was beautifully decorated, comfortable and large enough for my family of 4. Unfortunately, a very popular nightclub is around the corner. The street this property is on is a thoroughfare for students to get to and leave from this club. It was extremely loud in the early hours of the morning, not ending until 4 am, both nights we stayed there (T and W). Might be fine for heavy sleepers. Also, I asked beforehand if shampoo was provided. The reply was yes, so we did not bring any as all of our other stays provided it. We did not find shampoo there...not a major thing but annoying to have to buy it for one stay after I had specifically asked.
• Zhana (10/5): Home-like stay in a stunning apartment - An absolutely stunning apartment. Spacious, with very beautiful furniture and all necessary appliances for a comfortable, home-like stay. In a close proximity to the city center with easy access to most of the city’s main highlights. The communication with the owners was easy and straightforward, clear check-in and check-out instructions were sent before the planned dates. We spent a week in this beautiful place and would gladly stay longer. The only little disadvantage was noise from the street during the night, but I guess this is how it looks like when one opts for staying so close to downtown. So this does not affect my score.
• Frederic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Scarlett (9/5): Superb - The host was really nice and helpful. The flat has a great size. The location is unbeatable as it is a 4-minute walk to the train station and walking distance to major attractions. The street was very noisy. Especially Friday and Saturday, people partied until 3am in the morning. Be aware that the flat uses an electric water tank heater, so if you have a family of more than 2 staying and each needing to have a shower, hot water may run out and you'll have to wait until the water tank is fully heated.
• Vinay (9/5): Superb - Nicely located on a relatively quiet street near train station and within easy walk of the main sights. Responsive and helpful staff. Good size apartment, comfortable and with all the main amenities. Old windows don't seal completely and neither do the shutters, so street noise is more obvious. Would be good to have a proper coffee machine.
• Cheryl-renee (10/5): Charming and spacious apartment conveniently located to all! - Exactly as pictured. Simple, charming and quaint. Quiet block and convenient to all. Great space for 2-3 people. Charming and feels like home! Owner is VERY kind, communicative and helpful.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Staff was very responsive and communicative. The apartment was very clean and felt very safe. There was nothing I didn’t like.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mary (9/5): great location close to great places to visit - fabulous location near Santa Maria novella for busses and trains. easy walk to most places. great for 3 people a few wine glasses would be nice - but really there was nothing and the host was lovely and very helpful
• Kiyo (9/5): I will be back! - I am so happy about this place for 5 following reasons. 1. Margherita : a property manager, Margherita, is super nice, kind and helpful 2. Location : 3-5 minutes walk (flat street) from SMN station (7-10 minutes from the platform) 3. Beds : Room is cozy, beds are comfy (I took a bed and my mate took a sofabed, both are queen+ size) 4. Facility : Kitchen is useful and functional, showroom is large, and Wifi works fine 5. Atmosphere : Close to the center of the city but quiet neighborhood, good breeze and sunshine in the afternoon
