Guest Reviews
- Paige (10/5): -
- Bianca (9/5): - De locatie is perfect op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden.
De halve verdieping (mezzanine) met het tweepersoons bed was super. In het woongedeelte is ook een slaapbank. Er zat schimmel op de muur in de douche.
Dit zou een opknapbeurt nodig hebben.
- Carla (9/5): Boa opção para estadia em Florença - A localização é muito boa, perto do Duomo de Florença.
- Hernandez Gonzalez (10/5): -
- Santanera (10/5): -
- Conti (10/5): Azzeccato - Posizione perfetta in zona tranquilla a 5 min dal Duomo e da Santa Croce.
Soppalco molto carino e arredato con gusto Divano un po’ scomodo
- Granada (7/5): Nice value but I’m not sure I’d stay again. - Central location. Roomy apartment. It smelled musty and there were some moldy areas in the bathroom. The apartment could use some updating.
- Angela (10/5): -
- Eduardo (9/5): -
- marco (8/5): -
- Nicola (8/5): - Accoglienza e design Pulizia
- Алекс (9/5): - Всё хорошо. Только надо иметь в виду, что на второй уровень, где собственно и находится спальня, ведёт крутая лестница. Главное - вы в самом сердце Флоренции. Рукой подать до каждой жемчужины этого волшебного города.
Это отличный выбор.

- Elena (1/5): DECEPCIONANTE - La ubicación es excelente La realidad del apartamento dista MUCHO de las imágenes que aparecen en booking, que imagino que se tomaron cuando amueblaron y pintaron el apartamento (además de estar claramente modificadas ).
Obviando el portal, la entrada es Tétrica , hay una suelo de piedra muy similar al que puedes encontrar en algún callejón antiguo de la ciudad. La luz es lúgubre y las paredes están muy sucias .
De nuevo el piso de todo el salón es antiquísimo y está en muy malas condiciones ( esto no se refleja en las fotos) , la claridad y la luminosidad que se muestran en booking brillan por su ausencia . Solamente iluminado por dos apliques de pared y una lamparita ( no hay luz en el techo)
Si quieres que entre algo de claridad recomiendo no abrir la ventana ( las vistas son tétricas)
La luz en la zona del baño es inexistente a no ser que sea de día y abras un mínimo una pequeña ventana que está en la ducha.
Había tapas de cuchillas de afeitar en un cestillo con flores secas y el rollo de papel higiénico estaba prácticamente terminado ( cosa que considero inaceptable, ya que por un mínimo de higiene siempre deben poner un rollo cerrado sin utilizar)
La zona de la cama es más agradable, pero hay muchísimos mosquitos de gran tamaño que nos hicieron picaduras por toda la cara y el cuerpo mientras dormíamos (desconozco de donde salen , pero si observas las paredes están llenas de mosquitos aplastados, por lo que no fue algo coincidencia).
Punto positivo a los radiadores , había una temperatura muy agradable y , pos supuesto , a la ubicación , que es inmejorable.
Quitando esto, no lo recomiendo.
*pd la puerta de la cocina ni siquiera nos atrevíamos a abrirla por lo que pudiésemos encontrar y hay una puerta a mayores que en las fotos resulta ser una sala , pero que estaba cerrada con llave
- Jaxon (7/5): - We liked how close it was to the city centre, good facilities, easy to check in to. Host was available to contact. The bathroom was quite small!
- Natàlia (8/5): -
- Martina (7/5): nice stay - posizione centrale, letto molto comodo e in più Carolina è stata molto gentile nell’accoglienza il soppalco la notte diventava davvero molto caldo per via del riscaldamento alto
- Russo (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto. - Personalmente mi sono trovata benissimo, non mi sono per niente ritrovata nelle recensioni negative.
L’host è gentilissima, e molto disponibile, nell’appartamento si sta molto caldi e bene, il bagno è senza bidet ma questo si può vedere dalle foto, l’acqua funziona bene e si fa calda in poco tempo, l’appartamento era molto pulito, lenzuola pulite tutto perfetto e soprattutto la posizione è super centrale, è a 10 minuti da tutto(pontevecchio, i principali monumenti).
Personalmente mi sono trovata benissimo lo consiglio.
- Sergio (10/5): Todo genial - La limpieza y la ubucación. La comunicacion con Carolina ha sido fluida. Nada que indicar
- pasquale (6/5): Personale gentile ma locale sporco - Molto comoda come posizione e personale disponibile, mi hanno fatto fare il check out due ore dopo gratuitamente. Posto carino molto sporco, capelli e polvere ovunque, siamo arrivati e la casa era fredda. dopo due notti eravamo pieni di punture di ragno ovunque. location diversa dalle foto, appartamento un po’buio
- Stefano Francesco (9/5): -
- Garcia Rodriguez (9/5): Fantástico apartamento en el centro de Florencia. - - La ubicación del apartamento es inmejorable. En pleno centro de Florencia.
- Es un apartamento muy tranquilo, fuimos en Noviembre y estaba muy bien climatizado con calefacción.
- La cama es muy cómoda.
- Todo limpísimo.
- Estas casi como en tu casa.
- La dueña muy simpática, disponible en todo momento. No hay nada negativo a destacar.
- Alan Kardec (6/5): - Localização Das instalações. Não é confortável precisar de escadas para acessar a cama.
- Karin (8/5): - The location is good, everything can be reached on foot. The appartment is basic, could use some renovation, but clean. Kitchen is small so a good excuse to eat elsewhere, not for people who like to cook. Must be nice in the summer as there is not much light coming in. Airco worked fine. The stairs made a lot of noise, the couch is too old.
- Jolanta (6/5): - Laba atrašanās vieta. Maz komunikācijas no viesu uzņēmēja puses ar mums.
- Rob (10/5): -
- Shannon-Marie (9/5): Perfect stay and location - How spacious it was and how comfortable the bed was! We loved the big windows and the upstairs bathroom. We loved how central it was and the street had plenty around it but not nosy.
- Katharina (8/5): Ein tolles Apartment im Herzen von Florenz - Die Aufteilung des Zimmers, die Lage und die Kommunikation war super.
- Recep (8/5): -
- Ali Akbar (9/5): -
- jenny (8/5): Florence is beautiful but… - It was located close to lots of restaurants and points of interests.
Apartment was quiet. We found it very difficult to get to and from the train station. Tried to book taxis but they were unavailable at the time we needed them. The train station is poorly sign posted and there isn’t anyone to help you.
- Francisca (10/5): Mejor alojamiento - Nos encantó el departamento porque tiene todas las comodidades para ser autónomo, tiene lavadora y cocina disponible, cosas que cuando estás viajando son un gran plus. Está muy bien ubicado, limpio y las anfitrionas muy preocupadas. Lo recomiendo
- James (10/5): -
- Shannen (9/5): Great stay and location - Great space for two people to sleep on the mezzanine space but has room downstairs to rest/eat down stairs. The stairs to bedroom were steep but that can’t be helped.
- Eamon (10/5): Perfect apartment - The perfect stay for Florence. We absolutely loved the apartment. Was a short walk to the main attractions but not super busy/ touristy. Although others commented that the stairs are steep to the mezzanine, we didn’t mind and actually loved the loft style of the apartment.
- Anzor (10/5): Thank you - Location is perfect, house is clean. Thanks
- Devon (10/5): Beautiful historical property in central Florence! - The hosts were very accommodating throughout our whole stay and available for anything we needed. They went above and beyond for us. The property is fantastic, it has everything you need for a short stay! The bed was incredibly comfortable which was an added bonus. Nothing.
- Raina (9/5): Lovely apartment in Firenze - I loved this apartment. The location, the layout, the cost. The stairs up to the bed were a little steep if you are prone to a bit of vertigo but once there the bed was comfortable. Instructions on how to access were easy once received. Nothing. As mentioned getting to bedroom could be a bit much if you struggle with stairs.
- Pavlina (9/5): Wonderful place to stay in Florence - Wonderful location, comfortable bed
- Rita (8/5): Great cozy stay right in the center of Florence! - Very close to the main attractions. Only a 10 minute walk to the duomo. Had all the necessary amenities and everything worked well. Was modern and clean. Just the sofa felt a little bit dirty.
- Ari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andres (10/5): Excellent stay and services - Excellent stay and services. Perfect location in the heart of Florence, just steps away from the Duomo. The apartment features beautiful facilities within a charming traditional building, blending modern comfort with historic charm. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Florence!
- Jason (9/5): Superb - We absolutely loved this place in Florence—it was so central and incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and we especially enjoyed the large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It was so comfortable and spacious, which made our stay even better. The double-story loft style added a unique charm, and the beautiful old building had so much character. The only minor downside was some noise from upstairs during the night, but it wasn’t too disruptive. Overall, a fantastic place to stay—we would happily come back!
- Lee (7/5): Good - Host communication was great, and Anna was very accomodating for early arrival. We could leave our bags in the room while it was being cleaned. Steep steps going to main bedroom, not for the faint hearted or elderly. The pasage way at night to get to the room can be a little unsettling especially if travelling on your own.
- Deeksha (5/5): Passable -
- Kieran (7/5): Good -
- Anuja (7/5): Good -
- Luís (8/5): Very good -
- Melissa (8/5): Great location, close to restaurants and bars, lovely host. - The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was great.
- Liam (10/5): Great place for travelers needing a bit more space - The place has a lot of space for 2 people and a very comfortable bed and is located very close to the main attractions. The kitchen is very small.
- Andrei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vanessa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lucy (8/5): Very good - Great location. Ana gave us some excellent recommendations for local food and drinks spots. We put on a washing which was super as we still had a week of travelling to do so got all our clothes clean.
- Junren (8/5): Very good -
- איבט (4/5): Fun but it could have been better with a little effort - Good location and the apartment is spacious. Comfortable bed. Very kind host (Anna). We booked for 4 adults. The indoor stairs to get to the attic where the double bed is are dangerous. Not friendly for little kids or the elderly. Also, not for guests who intend to cook there. We were hosted on the first floor of the building and, unfortunately, the noise from above, including at midnight, was terrible. Very weak Air conditioner. It might need maintenance.
- Jodie (7/5): Good - The apartment was in a great location Walls were very thin - could hear everything and it made it hard to get a good night sleep. The apartment also is in need with a deep clean - it didn’t feel as clean or as well equipped as other apartments that we had stayed in on our trip.
- El-joh (10/5): Just a few metres from the Duomo - Very good location, and the apartment has everything you need. Nothing
- Natalie (8/5): Good stay - Good location of the property - close to the city centre. Apartment itself was a bit older but did the job. Check in easy. Windows just had sheer curtains so beaming sun in the morning. Also main shower head wasn’t entirely functional, we had to use the hose. No bidet. Unable to drink tap water, no bottles left like most apartment stays
- Ryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christine (7/5): A comfortable apartment. - This property had good kitchen facilities and a washing machine. It was comfortable and had everything we needed.
- Lisa (8/5): Excellent Apartment in good location - Good Location, excellent facilities. Apartment had a washing machine, dishwasher etc. Walking distance from station. General stores & restaurants close by.
- Dr. (6/5): Good value with a bit of inconvinience - Great location, well equipped Poor sound insulation, there was constraction work going on in the apartments above, they started to drill pertty early 8:00 on saturday . The properitor should have notified me about that after booking.
- Tyrone (9/5): Superb -
- Joanna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lindsay (5/5): Passable - Property was walking distance to all attractions. Very comfortable bed and pillows with kitchen and lounge room space. Significant mosquito issue which we found troubling as we didn’t open any windows. Also black mould in the bathroom.
- Martyn (8/5): Location unbeatable. - The location was excellent. Shower was good. Not a complaint but the stairs up to the mezzanine were steep. Fine for us and any fit adult, but might be an issue for some. Bed was comfortable but a bit squeaky!
- Jenny (10/5): Gorgeous accomodation with an extremely accommodating host! - Perfect location, gorgeous styling
- Bee (7/5): None - Loft bedroom and high ceiling . Property is old, so can hear the neighbour upstairs heavy footsteps or them talking very clearly. Wifi is also sporadic inside the apartment which is frustrating.
- Chin-pei (10/5): Exceptional - Th bed is very comfortable!
- Diondy (10/5): Great stay ans will definitely book again in the future. - I got the apartment 2 I think, it was an amazing stay. I love the place. It was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfy and everything I needed was there. There’s a nespresso machine with free capsules as well. Cohost Ana was super responsive. I was also able to check in early as the apartment was almost ready when I arrived.
It’s also walking distance to all tourist spots and Santa Maria Novela. If I will comeback to Florence I would definitely book this apartment again. None
- Kalpesh (9/5): Overall great apartment - Great location
Great apartment design
Good air conditioning Noise from other apartments
Shower water should be hotter
Can't open windows otherwise mosquito bites will be a problem
- Jo (9/5): Superb - We loved that the host was there to greet us and explain everything about the apartment. The apartment was clean and had a very small kitchenette. It was just around the corner from a laundrette which was the perfect distance to a wine bar for a sneaky one while the clothes were washing. A little too small for my family (2 x adults 2 x teens) Mainly because we had to have the sofa set up as a bed and my children are full adult size. Perfect for a couple.
- Hannah (8/5): Very good - Bed was very comfortable. Great location-close to nice restaurants and bars. You could hear everything going on in the apartment above. Made it had to sleep if you're a light sleeper.
- Kathryn (9/5): Superb - Location was superb & the apartment was clean, nice & comfortable The bathroom water pump made a really loud, obnoxious, scary noise every time we used the toilet or shower lol. Definitely needs fixing.
- Isabelle (8/5): Very good - Special open plan layout. On the balcony where the washing machine is there’s a lot of mosquitoes- need to be aware not to let them get inside. May be helpful to have some form of mosquitoes repellent.
- Lauma (7/5): Good - Location. It was not very clean, it was pretty loud from the neighbours, the kitchen was very bad equipped.
- Marta (9/5): Overall a great stay! Recommended! - The apartment was great! It really had it all! Smart TV, great wifi, kitchen with everything you need, washing machine… and the BEST LOCATION. Just a few minutes walking from all the main tourist attractions and restaurants. The staff was very nice as well. The mattress was quite uncomfortable. We both woke up with very stiff backs. Kitchen is very small, to the level is even hard to get in.
- Susana (7/5): Good - Great location. Nicely decorated. The host allowed us to leave our luggage at the flat after check out time. Poor cleaning and a bit noisy due to lack of isolation of the building. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable.
- Laura (8/5): Had an overall good stay in Borgo Pinti. - The flat was spacious which made it easy to spread out. The location was convenient to the historical areas, cafes, shopping, etc. The host was helpful in providing restaurant recommendations. The bed was comfy. It was rather dark in the flat. The pictures are kind of misleading because it certainly isn’t light and bright like the pictures convey. The stairs that lead to the loft are rather steep and feel somewhat like climbing a ladder. We managed fine but it might be something to keep in mind. There is a tv in the flat but it doesn’t work. We didn’t mind because we were always out and about.
- Rebecca (9/5): Beautiful stay - Our stay was wonderful, the bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was nice and hot with good pressure, and the apartment was spacious.
It’s only up one flight of stairs, so easy to access, and the bed is up in a loft up a small staircase, which made even more space in the lounge area.
Bonus for people who are travelling for long periods, there was a washing machine and drying rack.
Our host Ana was lovely to talk to when we arrived, and provided us with an exceptional amount of suggestions for food around the area. She was also easy to communicate with. Everything was wonderful, though it is a bit of a trek from the train station, so with all of your luggage it’s about a 20min walk. Not a problem when you are exploring Florence though, since it is an extremely walkable city. :)
- John (8/5): Fair price for a pretty good place with fantastic location - The property owner met us and explained things well :) The location was fantastic and everything we needed was there, including. coffee and a little espresso machine, plus pod coffee. Alos basic kitchen stuff for breaky. You could also self cater if you really wanted as there enough kitchen stuff. We just did our own breakfast. Heaps of breakfast, coffee, lunch and dinner options just up the road, plus lots of bars. Super close to the Duomo - 5 minutes walk.
Best TV at any place we’ve stayed at! Bed was also nice. Nothing major to complain about, with such a location we appreciated the standard reflected the price and was fair for what we got, which was comfy, secure and really well located.
There were mossies but they had some mosquito repellent thing for them which seemed to work the 2nd night.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Dmitrijs (7/5): Good -
- Tan (6/5): Good location - The location is good. It is walking distance from everything you need to see and do in Florence. Ana is also really friendly and helpful. The pictures make the apartment look more modern than it actually is. There are two flights of stairs going up to the apartment, which is unknown from the pictures. The water is the bathroom is warm, not hot, and the toilet makes a weird sound all the time. The neighborhood that the apartment is located in is super loud. The noise goes on till early parts of the morning. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful sleep.
- Toia (9/5): Superb -
- Viktoriya (9/5): A cozy stay at the center of Florence - We enjoyed our stay in the apartment, the bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was clean. We had everything we needed in the place such as hairdryer, iron, fridge coffee, small kitchen with utensils. The location is perfect! In general we had issue with the noise only on the first night (but it could only bother you if you are a light sleeper). A few small improvements could make our stay even better such as having some more dish soap and oil, vinegar to use, but all in all was okay.
- Tian (9/5): Superb -
- Zoltán (10/5): authentic - It was perfect! lovely apartment near to everything. We had the best time. The apartment manager was extremely helping and kind. Higly recommended! -
- Mónica (9/5): Superb -
- Budeanu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alice (10/5): Exceptional -
- James (8/5): Very good -
- Greg (9/5): Superb - Very central
- Christina (7/5): Good - An authentic place to stay in Florence and the apartment has everything you need. It seemed not as bright as it appears on the pictures. The bed was not as comfortable as expected.
