Guest Reviews
- Janice (8/5): The best cinque terre gem! - Excellent apartment in a fabulous spot! Easily walkable from the train station in a quiet and safe area. The hosts offer a lot of assistance to help the holiday, their communication was great. The apartment is big enough for two couples to coexist. The aircon was a godsend after a hot day hiking. We also loved that there was a beach umbrella we could borrow.

- Karen (10/5): Great location - Very clean and comfortable and the host was friendly and very quick to respond. It's in just the best situation with everything within a very short walk. It is on a quiet side street which joins on to via del Neri where there are many really lovely restaurants and a couple of lovely places for cocktails. It was perhaps a little tired in places but everything was comfortable, functional and incredibly clean. The location and price more than compensate for the cosmetics and I would be more than happy to stay there again.

- Michela (7/5): Per una sola notte può andare - La posizione me-ra-vi-glio-sa e l'accoglienza dell'host è stata puntuale e attenta.
Buoni i prodotti dell'igiene personale e asciugamani degni di questo nome.
Caratteristica la scala che mi ha ricordato la casa della nonna che arriva alla porta con batacchio vecchia quanto le scale (a me è piaciuta) Appartamento da rivedere: ampio lo spazio cucina e salottino ma mobilio senza una logica " stilistica",porta abiti senza porte,tende di tessuto pessimo con fili tirati,non oscuranti neppure nelle camere.la TV inutilizzabile.
- Kateřina (8/5): Parádní ubytko - Ubytování je v úžasné lokalitě přímo v centru města. Vše bylo čisté a dobře vybavené. Hostitel celou dobu výborně komunikoval. Řešili jsme drobnou komplikaci a vše vyřešil rychle a k naši spokojenosti. Nic
- pinuccia (6/5): Viva Rothko! - Posizione,spazio Scala ed ingresso scarsamente illuminati e scomodi
- Daniel (1/5): Estafa, Fake, Scam, Indignación - Nada. Insensible nos ha dejado sin hospedaje por la noche (23h30).
Se le aviso la hora de llegada.

- Barbara (9/5): Highly recommended for family / friends for a short stay. - Apartment with a unique vibe, very close to Uffizi, shops and cafés. Great choice for tourists arriving to visit the cultural treasures of Florence. Our host was very kind and helpful, and repsonded to all questions really quick.
- Castelnuovo (6/5): - La ubicación No es tal cual muestra en las fotos,como es adentro
- Débora (10/5): - Apartamento com bom espaço, excelente localização, tudo limpo e bem completo. Vários restaurantes e lojas próximo. O box do banheiro é um pouco pequeno.
- Hans-Jörg (5/5): In Ordnung für sehr kurze Aufenthalte - Gute Lage. Da wir nur 2 Tage dort waren und kaum Unterkünfte kurzfristig zu einem relativ niedrigen Preis zur Verfügung standen, haben wir uns hierfür entschieden. Es war alles sehr rustikal und einfach gehalten. Vermieter war freundlich und hatte die Tür mit einem Code geöffnet und jederzeit zu erreichen. Preisleistungsverhältnis
- francesca (10/5): - La posizione! Le dimensioni dell' appartamento!
La disponibilità del proprietario!
Ci torneremo sicuramente!
- Maria (10/5): - Casa accogliente, proprietario disponibile a venire incontro alle esigenze.
Consiglio vivamente.
- Vincenzo (8/5): -
- Koffee (10/5): 有機會來還會住這裡!! - 住宿地點交通方便,附近小吃、餐廳很多,房間很大;帶著小孩旅行,有洗衣機對旅程來說真的太棒了。像回到家一樣舒服~有機會要再回來住。
- ROMINA (6/5): - Posizione Bidet bloccato
- Lara (8/5): - Posizione ottima e appartamento molto confortevole. Ambiente abbastanza pulito ma si potrebbe avere qualche accortezza in più e magari una rinfrescata ai muri sarebbe apprezzata.
- Andreana (6/5): -
- Valentina (8/5): -
- Anita (9/5): - Posizione comodissima. Cucina ben fornita. Letti comodi. La pulizia lasciava leggermente a desiderare. Okay se passi davvero poco tempo in casa.
- Desirè (5/5): - Posizione centrale Era sporco
- anonimo (5/5): -
- Kubisch (7/5): - The location is fantastic and the host responded immediately and was super helpful! We enjoyed our stay!
- Nicolette (7/5): Excellent location and comfortable apartment. - The location was excellent and very central. The apartment was clean and had everything needed. The beds need review. The main bed was sloping at the head area so we slept upside down.
- Alena (2/5): - Ничего Это очень старый объект. Все в очень плохом состоянии

- William David (8/5): -
- Piotr (7/5): - Miejscówka do zwiedzania Florencji bardzo dobra. Wszędzie blisko piechotą.
Wygodnie i czysto Miejsce wymusza bardzo drogi parking, ale tak już jest …
- Cynthia (1/5): Nous avons passé un très mauvais séjour dans cet appartement. A fuir ... - L'emplacement géographique était très pratique car près du centre historique. Proximité des commerces et restaurants. Appartement spacieux. Pas de confort, ménage non fait depuis longtemps, pas de climatisation dans l'appartement excepté les chambres où la clim fonctionnait très mal car sale (cela n'était pas précisé dans l'annonce), pas de machine à café malgré plusieurs demandes, pas d'eau chaude pendant 2 jours, tuyauterie et robinetterie précaire, fils électriques apparents, tâches sur le mur, pas de décoration, lit parental à jeter (nous n'avons pas pu dormir car enfoncement vers le milieu), pas possible d'ouvrir la fenêtre dans la chambre des enfants, pas de volets dans les chambres, meuble tv non stable, tv minuscule, rien pour faire le ménage, mauvaise isolation des installations électriques de la cuisine (petites décharges électriques lorsque l'eau coule), pas de luminosité dans l'appartement, très sombre et vue sur le mur d'en face de la rue.
- Tanya (7/5): Overall, it was a good place to stay. - The apartment location was close to shops and restaurants. The couch wasn’t very comfortable in the living room.
- Sevilay (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was so nice and beautiful, we would want to come again. Thank you.
- Jacky (10/5): Great appartment at the best location of a beautiful city - Moscia cieca is located in a great part of town, footsteps away from all the main sights. A minute walk you are in the main road for food and restaurants, we ate fantastically just a minute by foot. Adriano and his wife were great hosts, they answered all my messaged right away and gave great reccommendations. It was really easy to get the keys and they were always available for questions. The appartment is spacious, very clean and has all you need. Beds are comfy and we appreciated the coffee, sugar etc. We would definitely come back to this amazing city and great appartment. Absolutely nothing
- Bernadett (1/5): Bad - Very bad experience I would not recommend this accommodation, we had very bad experiences with it. When we arrived at the accommodation at 8pm it was 17 degrees in the apartment. I reported it to the host who replied after 2 hours of waiting. In the meantime I googled how to set up the temperature on the thermostat. One of the rooms had no radiator at all, so there was no chance to heat that room. After 2 hours, the host indicated that we should use the air conditioning for heating, which was not working. But I would have been reluctant to use it as both the remote control and the A/C unit were dirty and dusty. After 3 hours of waiting, after my 70 year old mother and children were freezing to death, we left at 11pm to look for new accommodation. In addition, there was a strong smell of gas in the bathroom and the I got a light electric shock when I turned on the light next to the bathroom. This accommodation wasn’t seems safe for my family. The host refused to refund anything, even though the accommodation was not suitable to spend the night and the rest of our stay in Florence.
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rose (6/5): House cute, location excellent, toilet needs renovation. - The location - as described - excellent every thing is close by - lots of food options - famous sandwich place one minute. There is a fresh pasta making place one minute away - they will roll out and cut the pasta to your liking. The number of stairs is one flight to 1st floor- so very easy to take luggage in. The house was clean and spacious. But the toilet does not flush - needed to pour water with a bucket. The owner said he was planing on removing it shortly. The kitchen is good to cook but one burner does not work. No views out of the bedroom windows. Owner is very responsive which is very good. Will stay there again because of the location and house generally being good.
- Rosa (6/5): Great location - Location and Hosts. Adriano and Jackie welcome us and gave us great information about the City. They are very friendly and helpful. We had the best Bisteca a la florentine just around the corner of the apartment, all the attractions are closed by. Unfortunately, it seems that this apartment hasn’t been maintained for long time. Power points wires out of the switches, ceiling lights hanging from one unsafe wire, Wi-fi wasn’t working, iron cord peeling off you can see the wires, mattress in master bedroom extremely firm. Toilet doesn’t flush toilet paper.
- Catherine (8/5): Fabulous location near everything - Great location , comfortable and clean. Communication with host was excellent. The building was in the process of getting new wifi - which we couldn’t log in to.
- Ian (9/5): Menton is a lovely place to stay - good restaurants and pleasant shopping centre - A pleasant apartment in a very convenient location, especially the train station - easy to walk to the beaches and the main shopping area. Excellent air conditioning. Taps needed a bit of maintenance - they worked fine, but loose which worried us every time we used them
- Kelly (9/5): Great apartment in an absolutely FANTASTIC location - definitely recommend! - Mosca Cieca is a lovely two bedroom, one bathroom apartment in an AMAZING location right near the Uffizi Museum and Arno River in Florence. It was wonderful to be able to walk out our front door and be so close to restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. We were only a short 3-4min walk to the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and a 5-10min walk to the Statue of David, Duomo or Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is simply furnished - some of the furniture is dated (a little tired) but clean and comfortable - and the high ceilings were divine. The kitchen was generously equipped with tea, coffee, condiments, etc. It's also worth noting this apartment is on the first floor and there did not appear to be a lift option (only stairs) but we knew to expect that. Host Adriano was SO friendly and helpful. The bed in the master suite has sunk a little in the middle - I had a great sleep but my husband said he didn't! :)
- Francesco (8/5): Very good -
- Alina (7/5): Good -
- Lee (6/5): Right in the heart of Florence. Average apartment for the price though - Great location right in the heart of Florence. Host was easy to deal with and informative. Bed in the main bedroom sagged in the middle and the foot of the bed was higher than the head. Very uncomfortable and had terrible nights sleep. Shower was very small, shower screen didn’t close properly and water ended up on the floor. Apartment was very tired. Could use a coat of paint and a freshen up. Aircon in main bedroom didn’t work properly which made the room very hot and uncomfortable to sleep. 20 steps up to the front door.
- Mark (10/5): Comfy stay with everything we needed . Loved the location . - Location was amazing.
- Burnham-knight (8/5): Good stay for a quick trip, with wonderful host communication - Location, location, location! That’s the best part of this cozy stay, which has everything you need for a short stay in Florence. The communication with the host was immaculate, they were responsive, flexible, and very helpful. We really appreciated that! The apartment has a few quirks. The room with the twin beds has a window facing the stairwell and the light and noise there comes into the room.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharon (8/5): We enjoyed our time in Florence and can’t thank Adriano enough for his help. - Great location!! Lots of restaurants and cafes close by.
Beds comfortable
Rooms big enough
Adriano was awesome!! Very helpful and prompt! There are approx. 20 steps to negotiate with bags which is stated.
The property is dated and requires a coat of paint - maybe some wall pictures,and some newer basic kitchen ware.
Shower small. Problems with toilet flushing.
- Beata (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, very comfortable bed and kitchen. Some renovation/fixing is actual (lamps, taps). The tv set is bad.
- Óscar (9/5): Superb - Location was perfect right next to the Palazzo Vecchio and 7-8 min walking to the Duomo.
The building is pretty old but bed, kitchen, bathroom and everything important was new and very comfortable.
Adriano, the owner, is very friendly and helpful.
We are looking forward to coming back The shower is a little bit small and a little bit slippery. Apart from that, everything was great
- Liidia (9/5): It’s Italy) - Very good location, restorans, shops nearby, quite cozy.
- Tracy (4/5): Disappointing -
- Maria (3/5): The property needs to be updated and a bit more clean. As I said in my previous comment could not sit on the sofa becaus - The property was close by to everything . The property was very outdated. Toilet did not work properly. Neither the faucets. The sofa smelled like sweat.  never met the host.
- Martyn (7/5): Good location - Great location Dated in style and only bedrooms with aircon.
- Jennifer (9/5): Very charming - Kitchen was great. Veru comfortable bed. Loved dining room. Dark stairwell and no light outside the apartment.
- Simon (10/5): Amazing! - Fantastic location, beautiful apartment, Great time!
- Alejandro (8/5): Very good -
- Raoul (7/5): Good - It’s conveniently located in walking distance to the sights in Florence. Air conditioning wasn’t strong enough to provide significant cooling inside.
To find parking is a nightmare. I highly discourage to book the place if you travel by car.
- Shankar (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location and every attraction was at walkable distance
- Dan (9/5): Superb - Great location, in the middle of everything but on quiet side street. Kitchen had the basics - salt, petter, olive and vegetable oils
- Libby (9/5): Location fabulous, amenities great. Host great communication - the location of the apartment was right in the centre of Florence. everything was well stocked including tea, coffee, shampoo, body wash. Washing machine/dryer combination was fabulous after travelling for five days. took a bit to figure out but once was accomplished that hurdle it was great. The door to the bathroom is extremely little and low. when you have a husband who is 6ft tall you need to watch your head.
- Vicente (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mais (8/5): Very good - The location was amazing, so central but still peaceful. The beds were comfy and the rooms were clean and spacious. The vert Adriano gave us all the necessary information in advance and was also reachable on WhatsApp. Check-in went good without meeting him face-to-face. We were 2 friends, hanging out in Florence while staying in this apartment. For us two, we had plenty of hot water and liquid soap for 2 nights. The apartment was well-equipped, and the temperature was easily adjustable. We had such a pleasant time. We struggled to open the old doors with the provided keys sometimes. We spent a bit time to connect to wifi first, but made it eventually. This is not Adriano´s fault, but the city tax was € 5,50 per night/person, not € 4 as Booking.com specifies.
- Valentin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mathias (8/5): Comfortable and in great location. - I can highly recommend this apartment. It is located extremely conveniently for Florence's main attractions. It is spacious, with two bedrooms and a large living-cooking area. Everything is very comfortable, clean and well-kept. The Manager was very courteous and everything worked very smoothly. I liked everything about the apartment. However, like most flats in central Florence, it does not have much natural light. That might have been an issue if I had planned to spend a lot of time in the apartment, but that was not the case - my family and I moved around a lot and the apartment is perfectly located for sightseeing.
- Nettie11 (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful apartment, in a great location in the centre of Florence, very close to all the attractions, and places to eat. Amazing beds, good wifi and a very comfortable large sofa. The shower worked perfectly, plenty of hot water.
- Anna (7/5): Good - The apartment is in an old building but very specious and a good place to visit Florence, however not for people coming by car. Parking is in fact not available, he apartment is located in a zone restricted for traffic, so best fir those arriving by public transport.
- Petroula (9/5): Perfect location, spacious apartment, friendly owner. Recommended - It was spacious, in an excellent location, it had all the amenities, and they let us early Checkin. Great for families.
- Sabrina (8/5): great appartment with all you need - - very good location in Florence, close to Ponte Vecchio and all other attractions
- great to live the Italian flair
- in case you visit Florence by car, kindly ask Adriano for help to organize the parking before driving into the city since there are restricted areas. He will help you. :)
- Erik (7/5): Good stay in a top location - The host was very friendly and responded promptly to questions that we had and the handover of the keys was totally easy. The location of the apartment is really awesome! All the necessary things that you need in the kitchen was there. The airconditioning wasn't very strong, therefore the rooms were still a little hot. Something that is a little harder to beat is the presence of mosquitos.
- Joshua (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely apartment right in the centre of Florence. It is fully equipped and all you need for a great stay in such a beautiful city. Very easy to check in and everything is right at your doorstep for what you need. n/a - was brilliant
