Guest Reviews
- Diana (10/5): Amazing historical building apartment in a great location. - Large apartment with all that you need in it. Great view to San Marco Square and Dome of Florence. Museum with David statue around the corner and Dome 5 -10 min walk. Many restaurants and convenient stores nearby.
Very easy self-check in/ check out and communication with the owner.
For car travelling, there is very convenient parking garage at 2 stations away with the tram T2, Parterre at 15 eur/ day. The bed from master bedroom creaks, may need refurbishment.
- Antoine (3/5): Not very positive comfort wise. The only positive point is the location. - The only positive thing is the location.
The location was impeccable.
Two bathrooms! The appartement is located on the third floor and there is very big steps and a narrow staircase which makes very tough to climb with the luggage.
The appartement is very old, not well organized.
The walls need to be repainted.
The second bed room is two small and the beds are not comfortable.
In overall the appartement need a serious renovation.
- Bullev (8/5): Bon plan - Situation très proche du centre, avec accès tram T2 en bas de l'appartement.
2 SDB
Machine à laver le linge
Restaurant en bas de l'appartement Appartement spacieux, mais tout en long... Appartement au 3ème étage sans ascenseur.
Dommage, qu'il n'y a pas des équipements de cuisine basique : éponge, liquide vaisselle, café, huile ... --> la vaisselle à notre arrivée avait sûrement été juste lavée à "l'eau" par les prédécesseurs --> sale...
Une bouteille d'eau dans le grand frigo aurait été apprécié en plein été.
- Farzam (1/5): Not feeling like what’s we read on the reviews - 1 – What did you like about the property?
The location is good, relatively close to the train station, the street car is just at the property. We did not find any other positive, comfortable and reliable thing about the property.
2 – What didn’t you like about the property?
This was by far the worst accommodation we have had ever booked. The air conditioners were deliberately engineered and designed to turn off or go idle, even during the unbearable 38°C August heat. The host has had it designed in a way that the circuit breakers go off line when you are leaving the house, that makes the air conditioners go off. She did not rely on the set point of the air conditioners. Besides, you can not have the air conditioners run at each room at the same time as they go to “PS” mode which means they turn off at the same time, as the pressure switches do not let any of them to run. When this happens, you need to turn off the circuit breaker for a while to reset the system. This happened to us in the middle of the night. Can you imagine what we went through during our stay? Also, one of the air conditioners is too noisy, I can say it is possibly more than 72 dbs as no one could sleep in that room!
We booked “Unit B” expecting the first or second floor, but it was actually on the last floor — completely misleading. The property does not have any elevator and you need to be comfortable to go up and down of 56 steps.
The host is not responsive. She ignored every message and offered zero help until we escalated the situation we were experiencing with Booking.com.
We are puzzled to correlate the positive reviews we read and our experience. We would have decided another location if we knew the hardship this property would have caused us.
3 – Write a short sentence to sum up your story:
We do not come back to this property ever, and would not recommend to anyone specially with the kids. 1 – What did you like about the property?

- Gàbor (9/5): - Perfectly located apartment with a great vibe in the centre of the Historical town.
- jose nascimento (9/5): -
- Ahmet (7/5): Good -
- Fwatanabe (10/5): Exceptional - Incredibly comfortable property for a trip with family or friends. The apartment is very spacious and offers all types of amenities for a relaxing stay, including cooking meals. Grocery stores are plenty within walking distance, the same goes for most attractions in the city. The host was very friendly in explaining all details and giving suggestions. Nothing worth mentioning.
- Leonie (9/5): It was delightful. - The owner suggested parking in the Parterre carpark which was only 2 tram stops from the apartment, so easy. We were about a 15 minute walk from the Dome and Baptistry and other museums. There was one large bedroom with a dressing-room area and a nice low table and armchairs to relax in, plus an ensuite. The other double bedroom was smaller with curtains to the living room, but it was comfortable and there is a long, thin bathroom with shower and bath. In the living room there was also a sofa bed and the kitchen was off to the side. All-in-all it was spacious and fulfilled our needs. The owner was friendly and replied to our requests promptly. I would return for sure. The owner's English wasn't as fluent as we thought but she used a translation app and we were able to communicate without a problem.
- Sara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steven (9/5): Superb -
- Marie (9/5): Lovely clean and spacious apartment centrally located in a gorgeous old building. - Excellent location close to centre but quiet enough. The road works early in the morning but as we had to be up early it didn’t bother us too much.
- Grosu (9/5): Superb -
- Elizabeth (9/5): Perfect location! - Great location and easy access. While an old-style apartment (what else do you expect in Florence?) it was comfortable and had the facilities for 2 family couples. We appreciated the washing machine and small outdoor drying area. We felt like locals. Thanks! Second bedroom was pretty small and lacked some privacy, but was adequate for our needs.
- Mary (8/5): Great location on San Marco Plaza - The location was incredible and the apartment was dated but very spacious.
- Van (9/5): Memorable holiday - Spacious and comfortable apartment in excellent location within historic centre, easy walk to everything. I will miss that view of the basilica and campanile - beautiful and relaxing. Surrounded by interesting out of the way little museums.
- Choppie (10/5): Really everything I was hoping for, and Elisabetta is a wonderful host. - The size was more than enough for 4 people Water pressure of shower
- Lesley (8/5): Very good - Location was easily accessible. No tea bags or coffee / milk supplied.
- Gregorio (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very easy to get to from the train station. Lots of shops and cafe's all within walking distance. Close to all tourists sites within walking distance also. Nothing
- Veronica (9/5): Superb -
- Dan (8/5): Lovely location, great apartment. Florence is wonderful. - The location was superb, the air conditioning very good. Beds were very comfortable and the restaurant below was friendly and had great food. No complaints.
- 광선 (10/5): Exceptional -
- Craig (8/5): The recommendated restaurant next door was very good. Great location. Definitely stay again - The space, comfy bed and all the facilities we needed Nothing really, if have to say something, the water pressure on the shower wasn’t the greatest, but good enough.
- James (8/5): We really did love our stay in Florence. Would stay again. - Location great.
Restaurant downstairs was terrific, a great vibe. Sofa bed not full size.
2nd toilet didn’t work properly.
We needed to donate wine glasses.
- Pragathi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Konstantina (5/5): Perfect location with some compromises - Perfect location
Easy access
Spacy apartment
Flexible host
Fluent communication with the host
Recommendations received by the host The flat needs refreshment and thorough cleaning.
Definitely not convenient for more than 4 guests - it has the capacity but with lots of inconveniencies.
The apartment entrance door is not locking.
Don't count on toiletries.
Heating and air-conditioning are limited and controlled by the host.
Smell of humidity.
- Konig (10/5): Exceptional - Really big flat with everything you need.The location is just perfect ,every main attraction 5-10 min walk away.
You can see the top of Duomo cupola from the balcony.On the other side you have a direct window view to San Marco square.
- Bridget (8/5): Spacious apartment in fantastic central location - Great location and plenty of space for our family of 5 There was a lot of noise from construction work and drilling just outside the apartment. This was just temporary however and the location will be great again once the work is complete.
- Pinon (8/5): Very good - Great location on Piazza San Marco with many bus connections and restaurants. Very convenient to Accademia and David statue. Beautiful views of the piazza. Not owners fault, but construction on the piazza was noisy and unexpected. We were not prepared for all the stairs when carrying our luggage. May want to emphasize that in description. Stairs ok for when not carrying luggage
- James (9/5): Florence is fabulous!! this apartment is fabulous! I highly recommend both. - The apartment is spotlessly clean, large and airy. The location is great it’s very close to the cathedral and I mean you could practically lean out of the terrace and grab Michelangello’s David by the……hand!!
Elisabetta is a great host. We got there quite late on our first night and she gave us very clear instructions for getting in.
She suggested the restaurant downstairs(literally) which we tried, I highly recommend it! We were woken early every morning(including Sunday 07:15) by construction work in the square. It wasn’t too offensive to be honest and nothing ear plugs wouldn’t sort out. it’s for the greater good though, they’re extending the tram into San Marco square.
- Carrie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diana (10/5): Comfortable and great location. - Property was in good location, clean, large and comfortable. The city had road work going on at the time of our stay, not property owner’s fault.
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kyriaki (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, spacious, and comfortable. Near the sides. No elevator, but it is an old building. Ok, if you don't mind stairs.
- Josephine (8/5): I would stay here again!!! - Good location. Very nice view! Currently some construction.
- Kaylee (8/5): It was a fantastic location, and very helpful locals. The apartment itself was cute, and spacious enough for our group. - The location was perfect, friendly and helpful restaurant staff below the apartment, and clean place. Laundry didn’t work, and the beds could have been more comfortable.
- Meg (5/5): Our stay at this apartment in Florence was lovely minus the few basic needs that were not met. - The location of this property was incredible an easy walk to the centre of Florence, cafes surrounding the place. The place was clean and supplied a washing machine which was great. Sky lights were a plus. Initially the host never responded when I had sent messages about luggage storage facilities surrounding the area as we were arriving earlier. There was absolutely no hot water within the apartment, thus meaning all of the showers we had were ice cold, including washing up our dishes in cold water. The iron would not turn on full stop. Main bedroom light was flickering. No powerpoints in the main bedroom ensuite meaning cannot blowdry hair/use appliances. The key had to be kept in for the electricity meaning that one of our friends had to stay home in the dark as we were coming back later and needed the key to access the apartment.
- Silvana (7/5): Good -
- Helen (9/5): Superb - Aparment clean and cozy. Very close to all attractions and restaurants
All within a few minutes walking distance. Unfortunately, the construction in the square out front. Noise in the morning starting at 7am.
Just unfortunate, we were at staying at the time during roadworks and renovation of the building.
- Anonymous (8/5): Sweet little spot in the heart of Florence - Very clean and well equipped for 4 adults in our party. A really excellent location, couldn’t have asked for better. The master bedroom and living spaces were quiet and private. The balcony needs a bit of love and it’s a little noisy from the street in the front bedroom for anyone who is sensitive. It does quieten down overnight though so it didn’t bother us.
- Carolina (9/5): Superb -
- Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - great apartment, spacious and outdoor terrace delightful. Excellent location. Elisabetta was ver helpful throughout and dealt with a problem very quickly.
