Guest Reviews
- Abram (7/5): -
- helton leandro (1/5): HORRÍVEL - Nada Pior experiencia da minha vida. Como comissário de voo, me hospedo em hoteis por mais de 13 anos, seja a trabalho ou lazer. Não me lembro de ter conhecido anfitrião mais arrogante e desagradável. Por volta das 23:00 comunicamos ao anfitrião barulhos de caminhada fortes na acomodação acima da nossa, tao fortes que faziam lustre balançar. Inicialmente se fez de desentendido e argumentou que não havia hospedes acima do nosso, mas a verdade é que era o quarto dele e o proprio fazia os barulhos, que eram constantes, impossivel descansar. Após isso, ele foi ao nosso quarto conferir o barulho, ficava olhando sinicamente para o teto até confessar que era ele barulhento. Mas o mais grave foi que com uma arrogancia sem tamanho disse exatamente o seguinte: "SE VOCES QUISEREM PODEM IR EMBORA! EU TENHO 3 PESSOAS ESPERANDO POR ESSA VAGA!". Isso quase a meia noite, com aproximadamente 11graus de frio. Alem disso, este sujeito não fala ingles e nem comreende, ficava usando tradutor a todo tempo. Ficariamos mais 2 dias nesse lugar, mas logo na manha seguinte fomos embora e com imensa felicidade em não reve-lo e esperamos que nunca mais.
- Sorin (10/5): Perfect stay in Florence for a weekend – beautiful place and wonderful host! - Everything was perfect. The property was beautiful and ideal for a weekend in Florence. Giuseppe was amazing: very kind, polite, extremely responsive and always helpful. He made our stay even better and was available whenever we needed anything. -
- Melissa (10/5): - As a solo traveler I felt very safe and comfortable in the area and apartment. The host was very kind and lively. Because I was staying there for 5 nights he made sure to change my towels out which was very considerate. The location perfect, close to the tram as well and the city center. Giuseppe also made sure to keep the apartment very clean. Overall I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend!
- Ryan (9/5): -
- Marco (10/5): - la camera era perfetta, ben tenuta e giuseppe che affitta le stanze è una persona super disponibile che ci ha fatto sentire come a casa.
- Ana Flávia (10/5): Experiencia esplendorosa - Eu amei esta acomodação, Giuseppe é e foi incrível, nos recebeu super bem nos dois dias, nos agradou a todo momento, nos deu bebida e comida farta, uma experiência maravilhosa e rica, super recomendo, e voltarei com certeza para este lugar incrível. Não tenho nada a reclamar.
- Raul (10/5): Fantástica - En general todo perfecto
- Victor Adolfo (10/5): - Nice place, well located and Giuseppe is a great host!!
- Denise (10/5): Uma hospedagem impecável com um anfitrião extremamente acolhedor, localização privilegiada. - O anfitrião foi excepcional, muito receptivo e flexível com os horários de check-in e check-out, permitindo guardarmos as malas.
Fomos surpreendidos com mimos como uma garrafa de vinho e até uma pizza preparada por ele, além de ótimas dicas locais.
O quarto era silencioso e impecável, localizado em um bairro excelente e com fácil acesso a tudo. Não tenho pontos negativos a ressaltar sobre a estadia.
Toda a experiência superou minhas expectativas, sem qualquer inconveniente.
- De Palma (10/5): - Ottima struttura storica con posizione comoda, host molto simpatico e accogliente, consigliatissima!
- H.J (7/5): - Centrum op loopafstand. We kregen een fles water en wijn, zeer attent Kleine kamer
- Eliana yanina (10/5): Excelente - Todo impecable, como se ve
- Mark (10/5): - Giuseppe, the owner, was amazing. This is a very hospitable place, perfect for getting a more authentic experience in Florence. He can tell you about some amazing restaurants and places to visit. The room was also beautiful, Giuseppe is clearly very passionate about keeping it clean and proper. The location is also really amazing, you can see everything on foot.
- maia (9/5): - Todo muy bien….la única sugerencia que dejaría cambiar el colchón Cada detalle que hacía de la propiedad un lugar único
- Vladimir (10/5): Cozy and beautiful private room close to the train station. - The place was immaculate, super clean and everything in great shape, decorated with great taste. The private bathroom was very spacious and pretty. Giuseppe was a fantastic host and great conversation with him. The location is convenient, close to bus and tram stops. The neighborhood is nice, safe and quiet. Our room was a built colder than usual but heater was available. The address in the the reservation confirmation has the quartiere included and that gets confusing when you put the whole address in maps, we ended up in another location at first.
- BARBARA (9/5): Una chicca a due passi dal centro - Sistemazione molto carina e caratteristica in una posizione eccellente per visitare il centro storico di Firenze che dista solamente 15 minuti a piedi, oltre ad avere la comodità di un grande parcheggio sicuro a due passi in caso di necessità. Un plus assoluto è dato dall'host Giuseppe, che ti apre la porta di casa e ti accoglie con la massima ospitalità! Nulla in particolare
- Elisei (10/5): - Tutto molto bello host molto bravo e gentile una bellissima struttura ci tornerò di sicuro
- Maria (9/5): Satisfactorio - El trato con Giuseppe. Súper amable, muy cercano. Estaba impecable, súper limpio. El mobiliario es antiguo pero es parte del encanto.
- Katherine (10/5): Giuseppe was an incredible host! He knew so much about Florence’s art and culture and was able to give us great recommen - The property was beautiful and clean!! The furniture was antique and added lots of charm to the room. Nothing.
- Garatzoti (10/5): - The location was perfect near the tran line but it was also walkable. The room it self was beautiful and very comfy but most importantly the host was amazing.
I would definitely recommend. 😁
- Danré (8/5): -
- David (10/5): Giuseppe, thanks for everything you did, and we look forward to staying again soon, David and Uchi - Giuseppe is one of a kind and this is his passion and his home. He aims to provide the best experience and goes above and beyond any host I've ever had. An aperitivo on check-in, making sure we were well taken care of, and catching up in the evenings.
Please only book this place if you want to have a truly authentic Italian experience, are open to receiving and giving appreciation, and can appreciate the effort into the beautiful house he has crafted.
- Giulia Nicastro (7/5): Alloggio essenziale ma caratteristico a due passi dal centro, pulito, accoglienza molto cordiale - Accoglienza e posizione Stanza fredda per riscaldamento spento. ( periodo fine Novembre)
- Aurelija (10/5): -
- Carm (10/5): Excellent and friendly host, exceptional value and location! - Giuseppe was one of the kindest and liveliest hosts we’ve had on the trip. His place was conveniently located and everything was comfortable. We loved our stay! No heater
- Marconi (8/5): -
- Verzosi (10/5): - Tutto pulito, tutto preciso. Ma quello che valuto di più è l’attenzione di Giuseppe.
- catia (7/5): Boa qualidade-preço - Gostei muito da simpátia do Giuseppe que nos recebeu extremamente bem e nos deu algumas dicas de restaurantes bons.
A localização é muito boa e a limpeza impecável.
A decoração do quarto também é muito cuidada. A casa de banho no quarto é minúscula. É extremamente difícil tomar banho porque o chuveiro é mesmo muito pequeno.
Pedimos para ligar o aquecimento e não foi possível. Acabou por não ser necessário (os cobertores resolveram) mas não deixa de ser uma situação desconfortável.
Falta um tapete no quarto porque fica mesmo frio andar ali descalço ou de meias.
- Vebjørn (9/5): fantastisk vert, derom man ikke tilbringer så mye tid på rommet er dette å anbefale - Meget hyggelig vert, som var veldig serviceinnstilt Ble litt lurt i forhold til romstørrelse. bilder vs virkeligheten
- Khaoula (10/5): -
- Виктор (10/5): - Симпатичный интерьер, очень приветливый владелец, все время был на связи. Посоветовал куда сходить, подарил бутылку вина при въезде Учитываете, что нет микроволновки и чайника
- Elton (3/5): -
- Perez Torre Poma (10/5): - La ubicación es perfecta, muy tranquila a cuadra del duomo, Giusepe el anfitrión es divino, atento, nos atendió de lo mejor, nos ayudó a ubicarnos y nos dio consejos de qué hacer en la ciudad
- Oleksii (9/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): Obrigada Giuseppe, tudo foi perfeito! - Gostamos de tudo! O Giuseppe é incrível! Foi muito receptivo e nos fez dar boas risadas. Toda a casa é bonita e pensada nos mínimos detalhes. A localização é ótima, um bairro mais residencial e próximo do centro caminhando por uns 15 minutos, com mercados, transportes, farmácias e lugares para comer na região. A limpeza também estava de acordo, banheiro com tudo o que era necessário (toalhas, sabonetes e afins). De forma geral, a nossa estadia foi super confortável. Giuseppe sempre muito comunicativo, respeitoso e parceiro! Ganhamos um amigo. Não tenho pontos negativos.
- 大貴 (8/5): -
- Julian (10/5): Perfecto! - Es perfecto, habitación y baño increíbles, el anfitrión es super agradable y servicial Todo estuvo perfecto
- Oksana (10/5): - Очень дружелюбный хозяин Джузеппе,который сделает ваше пребывание максимально комфортным и приятным!Расположение хорошее,нужно просто повернуть направо и идти прямо до площади Дуомо.
- Letizia (10/5): - Ottima posizione e gentilezza dell’host
- Karla (10/5): A magical stay bu Firenze with autentic charm and host who made us feel like family ✨ - Nuestra experiencia en este alojamiento en Florencia fue simplemente encantadora. Desde el primer momento, Giuseppe, el casero nos recibió con una hospitalidad increíble: compartimos vino, limoncello y un queso delicioso!!! Incluso tocó brindamos con tequila y ahora podemos decir que nos llevamos un nuevo y exquisito amigo de este viaje.
El espacio es encantador y auténtico, conserva un toque muy especial con muebles antiguos y originales de época que le dan una atmósfera única, como si el tiempo se hubiera detenido para mostrarnos la Florencia más genuina. Cada rincón tiene detalles que reflejan historia y tradición, haciendo que la estancia sea aún más memorable.
Nos sentimos como en casa, pero con la magia de estar rodeados de piezas con carácter y de la calidez de un anfitrión excepcional. Sin duda, lo recomendamos al 100% a quienes quieran vivir una experiencia auténtica, acogedora y con mucho corazón en Florencia.
Grazie mille por tan lindos recuerdos, ¡volveríamos sin pensarlo! 🥰🥰🥰 Nadaaaa
- Kesa (10/5): - the room is very nicely decorated, clean and fresh. the host gave us free rosé and was very pleasant overall!
- Renata (9/5): Great location and host! - Giuseppe was great host and helped me get from and to the airport stress free.
Room and bathroom were impeccably clean and quiet at night.
Location was great, only 20 min walk to Duomo, supermarket nearby and in general safe street ( me walking alone as female at night felt safe there).
Highly recommend if you want something off centre and quiet but still can reach it easily either by tram or walk.
- Gabriela (10/5): Recomandam cu mare drag! - Gazda foarte amabila si intelegatoare. Ne-a pus la dispozitie tot ce aveam nevoie.
Este curat si confortabil.
Aproape de zona centrala si obiectivele turistice. Magazine in imprejurimi.
Recomandam cu mare drag!
- Salome (8/5): -
- omer london (7/5): - רבע שעה הליכה מהמרכז. המארח מתוק וידודותי. חשוב להגיד: זה לגור בתוך הבית שלו. ועוד חיסרון בימים חמים במיוחד: אין מזגן. הבית מטבעו די קריר אבל אם בחוץ חם מאוד, קשה להירדם מהחום
- Berra (10/5): Amazing hotel and an amazing owner! - The room and location of the hotel was amazing. Especially Giuseppe is an amazing person. He was really thoughtful and nice to us. He is very welcoming and kind, he made us feel at home. Definitely would stay here again.
- Castro (10/5): - Excelente la limpieza y excelente anfitrión.
- Faizan (10/5): Excellent value for money, very clean and loved the host. - Everything was clean and the host was very welcoming. Can do with padistal fans in the room.
- Andrea (10/5): Excepcional! - My husband and I are so grateful for the hospitality that Giuseppe welcome us with, he is an amazing host, kindly explained to us places to see and make wonderful restaurants recommendations, he always have an smile on he’s face and made us laugh so much, we are never going to forget this man, what a wonderful guy. The apt was exactly what we need it, the location is fantastic, is walking distance to the Mercado centrale, the gallery where the David is, the duomo and baptistery, the old medieval part of town, the Medici palace, ponte Vecchio all the things you need to see are a stone trow away from here, when we where to tired we will take a bird and we will be home in no time; for food you have many options around 8 m walk from the apt and a convenience store for water just crossing the street, this place is very secure for anyone traveling alone not even returning at night was a problem, this home is straight path to everything you need making it easy for you to remember how to return home. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to live a more authentic experience, we will definitely return more them ones and I am already planing to bring my full family back here, Florence is beautiful, and if you stay here you will be able to see all its magic up close. Thank you Giuseppe you made this place even more magical with your warm. Nothing everything was fantastic, we will return for sure!
- Nicolae (10/5): Exceptional - The location is in a nice building, the room is vintage and very clean, is a real pleasure to stay there. The host is friendly and is such a pleasure speaking with him, we felt really good and he made the whole experience better, we hope we can visit him again some day.
He truly cares about his guests which is amazing.
- Maddox (10/5): Giuseppe is the best host, and i hope to stay again - The owner was very hospitable and nice, the kindest man in Florence! The room and facilities were very clean and charming, we had a very comfortable stay. It also very quiet and peaceful. I didn’t stay longer
- Jana (10/5): A wonderful stay in fantastic Florence! - A wonderful stay right in the middel if Florence. The property was exceptionally clean and tidy and right in the heart of Florence. We were walking distance from all the public transport lines and main attractions.
Guisseppe was a kind and considerate host who made sure all our needs were well cared for and that we had everything we needed for our stay in Florence.
- Yang (10/5): Exceptional - The boss is very nice. He is very warm and kind.
The living is very comfortable and the environment is comfortable.
- Nikita (10/5): Gorgeous place, great host and good location! - The room was charming with everything you need. The host is fantastic, very friendly and helpful. We had the best welcome and will go back again. Nothing

Giuseppe is a great host, very hospitable.
- Camilleri (7/5): Good -
- Nadler (10/5): Charming place and host. - The place was near the tram. The room comfortable, as pictured, and the bathroom beautiful and clean. The host was also very kind and welcoming, and made it clear they were available whenever if i needed something.
- Marco (10/5): Excellent! - Very clean, easy to reach the town center, the host was very nice and upgraded my accumulation! Great time in Florence!
- Alexina (3/5): Poor - The whole apartment was very dark and not welcoming. No sun came in and with the stone floor it was really really cold in all of the rooms. Therefore, we asked the landlord if he could put on the heating. He tried in every way to avoid to put on the heating and we were freezing every night we slept there. Additionally, the bed was really uncomfortable and I could feel the coil springs in my back. There was also only cold water available for washing yourself.
- Greer (10/5): fabulous - excellent hospitality, giuseppe was a fun and generous host. the room was very clean and comfortable, plus, in a great location! we had such a lovely stay!
- Cynthia (10/5): Exceptional - Giuseppe was an excellent host. From the moment we booked, he stayed in touch to help us find the place, always very kind. The room we stayed in was beautiful. Sharing a good coffee and chatting about life was the best part. We hope to come back soon!
- Enkh-oyun (8/5): Good location - Location was good, place was big enough for 2 person and clean and comfortable. Owner was nice and helpful. Door needs to insulated or put some noice canceling liner or something. Every time some use bath room or when they open doors can hear everything.
- Jadelsky (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean. Comfortable bed. Sympatic host.
- Macdonald (9/5): Very friendly host - The host was friendly and made us feel very welcome. He provided us with plenty of restaurant recommendations and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The room had an authentic Italian feel. The location is a bit of a walk from the station but we didn't find it to be an issue.
- Vitomir (8/5): Very good - Quite location
Very convenient as it is close to the city centre
Easy to catch public transport. N/a
- Natasa (10/5): Pleasant stay in beautiful Florence with an amazing, friendly host ! - Breakfast wasn't included in our booking. The host was very warm, friendly and welcoming 😀 Everything was very nice and comfortable. The host was really nice 🥰
- Ante (9/5): Nice room just a walk away from Florence City Center - Really nice host who cares about his guests. The room is slightly small, and tall people like me will feel cramped.
But this wasn´t an issue, because everything is nicely done and really clean.
The shared bathroom is pretty nicely organized, so the people from the two available rooms sharing it, don´t have to go through the usuall shared bathroom fuss.
The location is perfect! Following the street, in less than 10 minutes by foot you arive at the doumo. There are a few nice Cafes in the area. The room is slightly pulled-in between the walls of the rest of the building, so we were missing a little bit of airflow.
- Liza (3/5): Negative energy - Pretty clear The room was too small, without a window, just a skylight window. No access to any kind of sink. No possibility to even make coffee. The owner was weird and rude. We had the feeling that he was spying the customers behind closed doors.
- Munish (10/5): Host is absolutely amazing guy. 5 star for him. Excellent stay. - Location, Room & Toilet was clean. N/A
- Ava (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was SUPER nice and passionate about his job! He was an amazing host and made sure our bathroom was always tidy. N/A
- Pospíšilová (10/5): We had a lovely stay. - The room was cosy and cute. It had everything that you need. :)
- Barretta (10/5): Exceptional - Comfy and welcoming.
- Angela (10/5): Nice stay at Firenze - Very nice location and Giuseppe was a very helpful host
- Lova (9/5): Superb - Giuseppe was the most friendly host! Extremely hospitable and helped us with all our needs and questions. We loved that the neigbourhood was quiet and in close proximity of a small park and great pizza.
- Kojiro (10/5): Affordable, clean rooms in Florence - Definitely above expectations. Giuseppe was helpful, he made sure nothing was missing. The room and bathroom were clean.
- Jess (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, safe and private stay just a 15 min walk from the heart of Florence. Giuseppe made this location, nicest host you can ask for. Greeted us and invited us up to his place while finishing getting the room ready for a cup of coffee and gifted us bottles of Prosecco for our stay. Drain floods in the shower
- Lindsey (8/5): Great host, authentic building - Great location and very welcoming host. The building was authentic and beautiful! Good for 2 people who appreciate authenticity and architecture in their stay. The bathroom isn’t connected to your room so you have to go down the hallway amongst other guests to get to it. It is very clean though. You can also hear everyone coming in and out of the building, but wasn’t bad with a sound machine while sleeping.
- Asli (10/5): Excellent - Great communication, very kind owner and nice rooms
- Filip (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tinne (8/5): Very good - Authentic Italian experience :)
- Ghazi (8/5): Great Place to Stay in Florence - The owner Giuseppe is a very nice guy. He was alert and efficient with communications. The location was good, around 20-25 minutes walking distance from the city centre.
- Mayuna (10/5): The host was really friendly and his hospitality was great! -
- Lizy (10/5): Brilliant - The room was so beautiful and the location was perfect so close to the centre. Guiseppe was so sweet and helpful our whole stay and went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. Mosquito nets over the windows were great, we didn't get bitten at all during our stay. Beds comfortable and additional blankets were provided in the wardrobe. Overall 5 star experience :) Nothing :)
- Luan (9/5): Superb -
- Elena (10/5): Fabulous and sophisticated! - Very charming and beautiful room with a stunning bathroom in a quite, wealthy and residential area of Florence. The windows of the room where I stayed faces the courtyard, so it was super quite at night! Giuseppe an extraordinary persone and one of the best hosts I’ve ever had! He was very attentive and helpful with all my needs during my stay at his rooms and he is very respectful to privacy and security of his hosts! Thanks a lot Giuseppe for all your help during my stay and I wish you to have the best guests ever! Apartment is highly recommended and I’ll definitely will book it again! Nothing, everything was just perfect!
- Ema (9/5): Superb - The room is small but comfortable. Giuseppe is a great host and he made us feel at home. He's very approachable and helpful, especially if you can speak a bit of Italian. The location is great (just 15 minutes by foot from the Duomo).
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yazid (10/5): Exceptional - Giuseppe is very nice. Perfect stay, I would like to stay more but we cannot 😢
Thank you a lot, we were very happy Nothing
- Abhirami (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (7/5): Not your average Giuseppe - Giuseppe is very welcoming, kind, and helpful. He offered us delicious cheese and wine on arrival, booked taxis for us, and was a joy to talk to.
When the couple who had booked the second room cancelled last minute, Giuseppe offered us a choice out of the two rooms, and would even have gone as far as closing the other room (if we didn't talk him down) so that no one else could book it (which would also mean we'd be sharing the bathroom) while we were staying.
Good location, 10ish minute walk to Piazza del Duomo and there were some restaurant and breakfast options nearby. Giuseppe is very careful to mention and remind that this is one of two spare rooms in his house, the bathroom is shared with the other room, and the kitchen is not available for guest use. There's no "living room" or "communal area" other than your room. Neither of these are necessarily problems, especially as Giuseppe makes sure you understand before you get there and we weren't bumping into each other at all. Plus the price reflects!
- Monika (3/5): This was a disappointing stay and I do not recommend it. - It was a clean room with tasteful furniture. It was very expensive and it did not provide a private bathroom which is something that any hotel charging +100 per night provides. This particular place cost over $200 per night and it did not openly say that a private bathroom was not provided on the ad. He also did not allow me to leave my bags at the property on the day of checkin and had an unreasonable late checkin of 6 pm which I had never seen before and it was not disclosed prior to check-in. Once I arrived, he said that I needed to pay extra tax although the amount I paid through booking already included tax. He made no effort to speak any English.
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Junnan (6/5): Feels like a dorm and weird checkin experience, but clean and sufficient - The owner was very welcoming and inviting. He shared a welcome drink with us and provided free water throughout the stay. It was also clear he cared about the facilities and kept them well maintained. The host also did a lengthy introduction of the entire place and made sure we could use all of the keys correctly, which is appreciated. While the property isn’t close to the center of Florence, David and some bus stops are relatively close. The Wi-Fi was really good. While nothing was blatantly incorrect in the property description, this felt more like a dorm or Airbnb rather than the type of property I’m used to getting through booking.com, and we felt like the property description didn’t reflect this.
To be clear: you are getting a room in the host’s apartment where the host currently lives. Most of the rooms share a bathroom. And while the host was friendly, there definitely was some micromanagement with respect to the shared bathroom and the hallway areas. At times, the host was even friendly to a fault, sharing details and even bad stories about other clients, to the point that we felt that he would share stories about us to other clients; it was all relatively unprofessional. The facilities are quite old; the toilet is literally inside of the shower, for example. The check in time, while listed in the booking description, is very unorthodox at 6PM; I’ve never had another booking with such a late checkin time.
Lastly, while the lengthy introduction to the property was appreciated, it largely felt unnecessary and overdone. Most of what was described could have just been sent over prior to check in.
- Larry (10/5): We loved it! Guisseppe is an outstanding host and now a friend! - The location was excellent! Only a 20 walk to City Center with a multitude of cafes and restaurants along the way! Nothing!
- Nevila (10/5): Exceptional - The distance from the center was 10 min by walk. It was a comfort room with all the facilities. We loved our stay there. Thank u 🖐
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - A wonderful accomodation, Giuseppe is really kind and helpfull… i ll be Back soon!
- Jennifer (9/5): Lovely stay in a traditional Italian property. - I loved the traditional authentic feel of the property. Renovated to a lovely humble standard, just what I was hoping for to experience Florence. I felt very well looked after. Nothing was too much to ask. Giuseppe was a very kind host who made sure I felt welcome. It was a little far from the hustle & bustle of the centre. A good 20 mins walk. It’s just one straight road though with lots of buses, so I’m sure it could be done quicker. I just enjoy walking.
- Amelia (9/5): Kind and supportive host. Looked after us well. Good stay. - Furnished nicely, recently renovated. Felt springs in the bed.
