Guest Reviews

• Pier Paolo (9/5): - Un bel appartamento con tutti i confort che servono per alloggiare TV mancante
• ROSSI (6/5): Emplacement Pratique et confort basique - L’accessibilité au centre de Florence par le bus à 50m. Stationnement facile et gratuit à proximité. La capacité pour 4 personnes avec deux vraies chambres et des grands lits. Le ménage très propre malgré la vétusté des lieux. Convient pour 2 nuit pas plus. La localisation dans une avenue très bruyante face au Mac Donald et à côté d’une station service. Pratique mais insupportable d’ouvrir les fenêtres. A cette saison ça passait mais de climatisation l’été. L’appartement vétuste mériterait une rénovation et mise aux normes actuelles : literie usée, pas de coin salon pour se reposer, équipement minimaliste. Décoration et meubles très anciens. Rapport qualité / prix abusif.
• JESSICA (8/5): - Giorgio è stato disponibile in tutto soprattutto nel check in.Ci ha consigliato dove mangiare i bus da prendere e delle chicche della città che non sono da perdere . Abbiamo passato un bel weekend.Al nostro arrivo non mancava nulla c'era anche il caffè per la mocha. Struttura un po' spartana.
• Vivette (7/5): Séjour agréable dans la belle ville de Florence - Hôte accueillant et disponible qui nous a donné plein de conseils pour le séjour à Florence Il faisait un peu frais dans l'appartement
• Arteconi (8/5): -
• Miryam (9/5): -
• hüseyin (10/5): Amazing apartment at an amazing location wit the amazing host - Giorgio is the best host ever. The location of the apartment is amazing. it only takes 10 mins to reach historical center with bus 11. The apartment was very clean, and had all the equipment you would need. I would definitely stay here next time I visit Florence. Wifi is a bit slow, it could be better
• Cinzia (7/5): -
• Raduz (10/5): Everything was fine, easy communication. - You can walk to the historic center from this location, or take a bus (the bus stop is very close). We chose the place also because of the parking options, which this location provided. The host was pleasant and very helpful, he explained everything what we need to know.
• Alessio (10/5): La bella napoli - Ottima posizione,vicino alla metro e a tutti i servizi necessari.Il titolare davvero una brava persona,disponibile in tutto
• Milan (8/5): -
• Paola (8/5): Buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Comodo per qualche giorno in città - Posizione non lontana dal centro, con possibilità di parcheggio gratuito e fermata del bus a 200 mt Zona molto rumorosa per il traffico
• Dzhavid (7/5): Отличный номер за свои деньги с учтивым хозяином. Интересный дизайн! - Понравилась чистота дома, большие комнаты, удобно расположено по отношению к общественному транспорту, близко есть большая парковка. Джорджио был очень вежлив. Ванная комната мне показалась маленькой.
• Aneta (10/5): -
• Rodrigo (10/5): - Buena ubicación, muy cómodo y limpio. El trato del anfitrión fue excelente. Recomendable.
• Pita (9/5): - Anfitrião muito prestativo, boa localização. Excelente custo-benefício.
• Tania (9/5): Homely property handy to everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Florence! - Central to the city, very welcoming host. Easy bus access, quiet at night, even though it was a Main Street. Giorgio greeted us & provided us with great info about the area. Nothing, it was great.
• Sandra (10/5): -
• Zdenek (9/5): - Výborná poloha, pekná štvrť s vilami, detským ihriskom, výbornou reštauráciou,
• Roberta (8/5): Buon rapporto qualità -prezzo - Appartamento pulito e ben collegato. Proprietario molto cortese e disponibile. Mancanza di condizionatori. Con un caldo così i ventilatori non fanno nulla. Mancanza di specchi a figura intera e di un altro paio di mensole in bagno (in quattro è stato un po'problematico).
• Ravi (8/5): Very good - Location Cleaniness Cooming utensil Mattress were too soft.
• Agne (10/5): We really loved our stay in Florence, we felt like home there. Thanks a lot! - We especially loved staying at LA BARRIERA affittacamere guest house during our visit to Italy!! The apartment is very quiet and cosy. It is an older classic style apartment which gives a true spirit of Italian cities ant their old town buildings. We felt like living in an apartment from the beginning of 20th century - all walls being decorated with paintings and various antique things, with high ceilings, etc. It gave us very exciting and unique Italian experience. The apartment has two rooms, the kitchen and the bathroom. It feels more like usual living apartment rather than a hotel or hostel, therefore you can really feel like being at home rather than living in a hotel. Next to the apartment there is McDonalds where you can get food even late at night in case you need it. The owner - Giorgio is especially warm and friendly. He is always cheerful and welcoming. In case of any problems you can always reach him by phone or a text message. He is always there to help you and make you feel good about your stay. It's been a great pleasure for us talking to him! The Florence itself is more than a fantastic soul refreshing city. Already few month passed since our trip to Italy and we still do remember the wonderful Florence and wonderful Italy. We take apology for posting our comment a little later, and we send warm greetings to Giorgio from all the family. We highly recommend this place for anyone! Especially for families and groups of such sizes. Thank you very much! Basically none. The only thing to note is that the apartment is little bit further from the city center and from the railway station. Therefore you basically need to take bus to go to the center and back. If you arrive first time in Florence without knowing the city at all, then consider taking a taxi or Uber to get to the hostel. After getting more familiar with the area, you can walk by foot to the center, though it takes time. Otherwise buses go pretty well even up to the late night.
• Dominic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lyudmyla (8/5): Very good -
• Nilanjana (10/5): Exceptional -
• William (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host! Very kind and friendly.
• Sukanta (10/5): Exceptional - Very good property .. Host was really nice.. And location was really nice.. bus stop is next to the apartment.. And the home was so nice.. we enjoyed our stay ..
• Cole (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Perfect - Ample room and facilities. Very nice host who explained everything on arrival. A little away from the centre but ample buses going past for €1.70. Nothing
• Elizabeth (8/5): Very good -
• Csilla (7/5): Nice host. Good value for money. - The apartment has a good price. The check-in process was convenient. Giorgio gives a lot of useful information, he even has prepared answers printed in English for questions you might have. We used the free parking right in front of the building, we found a free spot each time. In the apartment everything is old, which has its special charm. Giorgio definitely travelled a lot and he has many artefacts from all over the world. Staying there it is definitely an experience. Although when you enter you don’t see that the apartment is dirty, on a second look, it definitely needs a good deep cleaning. After a few steps on the floor barefoot, your feet will turn black. Theoretically the apartment has internet connection but it is so weak, that it is useless. The bathroom has a smell, after a few minutes you will get use to it, but it is there. As it is an old apartment, the beds are also old, so they will squeak on every move.
• Muma (9/5): Superb - Conveniently located with easy bus connections to the centre. Great concentrstion of local amenities.
• Sandeep (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nikki (7/5): Good - Giorgio was very helpful and friendly, and there was a good bus service direct to the centre of Florence. The apartment was quite dated, the beds weren't very comfortable. There was no Aircon, and if you had the windows open there were lots of mosquitos.
• Belinda (7/5): Good -
• Richard (8/5): Very good - Friendly host. No air conditioning
• Daniil (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was nice, and the host Giorgio is a charming man with whom I had great conversations in half-french half-italian about bistecca alla fiorentina and other things. We were really comfortable in his apartment, and would love to come back.
• Traista (10/5): Exceptional -
• Magdalena (8/5): Ok - Host was very polite and helpful. He gave us a lot of useful information. There was a lot of authentic items especially tails from 70’s. Good communication with city and 20 minutes by walk is still ok. Price at that moment was lower than other in more central part of Florenz. Quite big space. Separate bedrooms. Some of old items might be changed and cleaned better. You could here street all the time. Parking is possible near the street (it is not included - it was important for me to keep safe my car)
• Balazs (8/5): Classical apartment in Firenze - It is classically furnished apartment with all its charm, but some compromises (soft, squeaky beds). The host Giorgio is helpful and very nice. The inner city is about 40 min walking, 30 min by bus. Parking is available and free, but very limited parking spaces.
• Mikhail (8/5): Very good -
• Kim (7/5): Good - Good value, parking right outside and good location for exploring Florence and further afield. Georgio was lovely and so helpful, he made sure we had lots of local knowledge to help us get the most out of our holiday. Small shower with limited hot water. Bed was a little uncomfortable.
• Katarzyna (8/5): Very good - Very good location. Nice, stylish apartment, free parking available nearby. The Host very very nice! Clear rules of stay - all explained well. I really recommend this place ! :-)
• Gianluigi (8/5): Big apartment - Big and clean apartment. Very welcoming owner
• Emma (8/5): It was lovely! I would love to stay over again. - It was cosy! The place was lovely. The balcony was splendid to have. The owner was very helpful about answering questions and giving us suggestions of where to go. We saw a beautiful sunset a Piazzale Michelangelo thanks to him :) Beds were nice and clean. So was the bathroom! No aircon! Slow wifi. A bit of a struggle going back and forth but it wasn't all that bad, really.
• Miha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hilary (8/5): Very good - Georgio was very helpful and spoke enough English for us to understand. The apartment was close enough to walk to Florence and the buses frequent. The apartment itself was perfectly adequate for us as we were not self catering. In the extraordinary heatwave while we were here 33 - 39 degrees, we felt the lack of air conditioning!
• Stefano (8/5): Very good -
• Klea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Santosh (10/5): Exceptional - Every single item which one may require during BnB stay was available... Mr George is a great host... thanks for the memorable stay...
• Maria-cristina (10/5): Exceptional - The host was kind, offering lots of tips about everything. It was a little bit too cold inside the apartament.
• Andy (8/5): Loved Florence, and this apartment was in our budget and made it easy. - It was a great little, albeit old apartment (though it is Florence and there doesn't seem to be much new stuff around). Perfectly clean and had everything we needed. There's a McDonalds across the road (best McDonalds I've had in the world) and some other places to eat nearby and the bus stop is just a few minutes walk away. And the host was extremely helpful during check in and gave us a few good tips on places to visit. I'd happily stay here again. Just a warning - the hot water system is tiny. 100L. And for 4 people, you need to keep your showers brief. Unfortunately my daughter loves long showers (and I failed to tell her about the small hot water system) so we ran out of hot water in the first night. So not a major problem, just something to keep in mind.
• Sateesh (6/5): Pleasant - Hospitality and guidance Location far from centre, limited access, mosquito
• Μαριλια (9/5): A great choice for a family of 4 - The host was very friendly an quick to reply to our messeges about the time of check in. He gave us a lot of information about the city, how to move around with the buses (the apartment is only a 5 min bus ride away from the centre) and everything else we needed. The apartment was big and spacious and very clean, plus there were a lot of free parking spaces around which made it very easy if u have rented a car. Despite the hospitality of the host, the apartment was quite cold and had no heating, so if you are visiting in colder months bring winter pj's. There weren't a lot of outlets to charge phones nor power banks, and it only had one power cord so if u r more than 2 people make sure to bring ur own.
• Oksana (8/5): Very good - Nice apartment, pleasant host. Parking is public and not always available. There was a little mold on the shower door.
• Raghav (10/5): Exceptional - Giorgio is really nice host. Place is cosy and the Appartment is well equipped.
