Guest Reviews
- Romina (10/5): - La casa es muy hermosa El microondas está a una altura que no es fácil acceder.
Retirar y dejar la llave en otro lugar es una complicación
- Josef Von (9/5): Beautiful app. , clean , sunny , a view - Beautiful appartment , equipped with everything you need . Clean , sunny , a view . Only 10 minute walk to the tram to the city and the supermarket COOP.Fi 0
- Lucia (8/5): Florence is amazing - The apartment was fine and communication with the host was good. We appreciated that they allowed us to check in at 14:00 without an extra charge. Since it was Easter Eve and everyone was keen to get home early, it turned out to be a win-win situation for both us and the host, especially as the key handover was done in person.
The apartament is at the 3rd floor and no elevator (that was not a problem for us, but be aware before booking it). While the apartment itself was fine and the host was communicative, I feel compelled to warn future guests about several 'hidden' rules that were not disclosed before booking. Had these been transparent from the start, I would NOT have chosen this property.
The property imposes steep late check-in fees (€25 to €50) for arrivals outside a very narrow window (15:00-19:00). This is particularly frustrating as the keys are kept in a lockbox 10-15 minutes away on foot. Furthermore, there are undisclosed surcharges for luggage storage and even a penalty fee if you accidentally leave the keys inside. These types of costs should be listed clearly in the description, not revealed after the booking is made.

- Please indicate your arrival time to organize check-in between 3.00 pm and 7.00 pm. Check-in will be permitted outside these hours, always by prior arrangement, with an extra cost of €25 by 9pm and €50 by 11.59pm. Luggage storage or early check-in (when possible) €25 from 1pm and €50 from 11am
- Check-out by 10:00 am. Late check-out (when possible) €25 by 12:00; €50 by 3pm.
- Our guests are reminded, during their stay in the apartment, not to forget their keys in the house before leaving. If this happens, a representative will come to open the door at a cost of €50. If they are lost, an additional €30 will be requested plus the cost of the keys.”
- Iryna (9/5): Затишна та комфортна квартира - Помешкання просторе, комфортне Сподобалось все
- Ash (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and clean, cute apartment, pretty quiet except for the trains but with earplugs I didn't even notice them. It was great to have a full kitchen and washing machine during my stay. Plenty of space and the bed was comfy. Only inconvenience was having to pick up the keys elsewhere, but the apartment was a short walk away from the office.
- Utkarsh (8/5): Very good -
- Francisca (10/5): Lovely flat with excellent location. - Nice spacious flat with a good kitchen setup, nice bathroom and bedroom. It was easy to get to the centre with the tram and it was 5 mins away from a supermarket. Just minor details, they should have a bottle opener in the kitchen and a clothesline or rack. Also, the windows had been painted recently so the latches were stuck and you couldn't get natural light without opening the whole window. All easy to solve.
- Thu (8/5): Lovely and clean apartment - Lovely decoration, comfortable beds, very clean and well equipped. Location is good for us to reach our working station easily, though it’s near the railway so it was a bit loud. But other than that everything is good. Host answered our text quickly and nice. It was a bit loud in the night because it’s close to the railway. An extra toilette paper roll would be appreciated.
- Anna (10/5): Moster cosy and nice wellequipped appartement in calm area - Very cosy, nice equipped with washing machine. Little difficulties with iban for payment of tax. All others had card or cash payment.
- Joseph (6/5): Pleasant - Easy to find.
5min from tram stop. Noisy all day and night.
Stairs, no elevator.
Hosts demanded full city tax at the beginning of stay. (Received message stating we could pay at the end)
New policies on arrival. (Must clean dishes and throw away trash)
TV has 8 channels. Not a smart TV.
No A/C.
- Björn (9/5): Superb -
- Thuc (6/5): Pleasant - Staff proactively looked for us, took us to the room, were friendly. No verbal warning about thr broken washing machine, no written warning on it. Due to that, we tried to wash our clothes and the floor was flooded. We had to remove the water.
No A/C. Room on 4th floor. Near rail lines.
- Elisa (5/5): Passable -
- Sarah (5/5): Nice flat, but missing a lot of bit missing for a good stay. - Nice neighbourhood and cute flat with lots of interesting artistic details in the decor. Flat has washing machine and Dish Washer. If you’re needing a place to rest after a long day exploring the city then look elsewhere because the neighbours from hell are living above the flat- the dog is barking from 5am, and their kid is singing (badly) and dancing with heels for 4 hours each night until late plus they decided to start drilling at 7am on a Saturday! From the neighbors noise we couldn’t go to sleep before midnight and couldn’t sleep after 5 or 7AM! So no proper rest for us during our stay, which is very frustrating as we all work very hard and wanted to have a peaceful and quiet holiday and after a day walking a lot. Also the flat is still cold in May but the Italian law for the city says heating cannot be used. Still, the owner could provide a portable fan heater or something for the guests comfort and considering the price. The owner also has a lot of rules and expectations from the guest which you wouldn’t deal with in a hotel. It seems a little unfair that essentials such as dishwasher tablets and a sponge / washing up liquid aren’t provided. They also want you to take out your trash, which is fair, but they don’t show you where, only explain, and it’s not clear. You also have to strip your bedding which isn’t ideal when you’re expected to check out at 10:00am! The host was also not good when responsible when we were sharing our complaints during the stay. Also good to notice that even though the building is a more classic style (very well preserved) you do have to up many steps, which might not be suitable for all ages, my 70th mum with cardiovascular disease struggled a bit with it.
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Saganelidze (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luisa (6/5): Pleasant - I liked the location and the size of the house, it was confirtable for a family of 4. The rooms and bathroom were clean but all the rest was not. The TV remote control for example was disgustingly dirty and sticky. The kitchen supplies were very limited and pans and most things inside of kitchen cabinets sticky and dirty.
- Jordan (6/5): Pleasant -
- Pedro (7/5): Good -
- Giorgio (6/5): Pleasant - The house is nice and the location is good There is no elevator, the building is a bit old, and the staff does not provide anything for using the utilities
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Echeverría (5/5): Passable -
