Guest Reviews

• Piotr (1/5): Overpriced, under-furnished, zero cleaning - dissapointing stay - Great location. Air conditioning and heating worked well. Washing machine is available in the bathroom, that's a plus. The host did change the towels and make the bed once—after refusing to clean the flat, so that’s something. Staying there is fine for a night or two - problems show when you stay longer, read below. No cleaning service during our 9-night stay. The flat had no cleaning supplies, so we couldn’t clean it ourselves. We also had to take our own rubbish to the street recycling bins. Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived at 18:30, even though we were just before the late check-in fee. The flat is almost empty—just a bed, two bedside tables, a table, two chairs, and a wardrobe. Entire flat looks very old and tired. Hasn't been renovated or even painted in ages. Shower is very weak and leaking too. The kitchenette is crammed inside another piece of furniture, which is laughable. Also, "free toiletries" in the description - they are free when previous guests leave some for you 😂 Otherwise, no luck. We only had toiler paper and hand gel bottle. Furthermore, "Coffee machine" in the features list, there is no such thing, yet another lie. The host does NOTHING while you’re there. You handle everything, while all he does is collect the money at the start and give you the keys. We paid 166 EUR per night for this one-bedroom flat, including an extra tax he collected at check-in. Terrible value. Final verdict: the host’s rudeness really cemented my review. Be aware before you reserve your stay there.
• Vanessa (10/5): Ótima localização e recepção! - O anfitrião foi muito prestativo e simpático, adoramos ser recebidos por ele - além de recebermos um mimo pela nossa Lua de Mel. A localização é exatamente ao lado da Catedral e a poucos minutos da estação. Tivemos um problema com o ralo do banheiro que estava com dificuldade para descer a água, o que acabou fazendo uma "piscina" durante os banhos.
• Francesca (8/5): Ottima struttura - Posizione ottima, struttura carina e con tutto il necessario. Roberto è stato puntuale e gentile e ci è venuto incontro per anticipare il check in. La strada sotto l’appuntamento è molto trafficata ma con le doppie finestre non abbiamo avuto nessun fastidio
• Jacopo (10/5): -
• Travis (1/5): -
• Ercole (9/5): - Posizione e gentilezza del personale
• André (5/5): -
• Miguel (10/5): - Ubicación inmejorable, tienes privacidad y muchas facilidades.
• Ana (10/5): -
• Cohadar (9/5): - First of all, the property was located right next to the cathedral. The bed was very comfortable, and the host was very attentive and helpful. We stayed for two nights and were very satisfied. Cleanliness and location were absolutely perfect — a solid 10 out of 10.
• D'angelo (9/5): -
• Mirco (9/5): -
• Iglesias Lacasa (6/5): - La situación del apartamento. La cama muy cómoda. No había ni un pequeño sofá donde sentarse. Tampoco tenía horno.
• Rebekah (10/5): -
• Tetiana (9/5): -
• Neil (10/5): Fantastic location, competitively priced,clean, secure and well equipped - The location of this property is fantastic, just yards from the Duomo and close to the other attractions too. Only about 10 minutes walk from the central rail station too. Roberto, the property manager, met us to show us round the property and give us guidance on tourist attractions, restaurants, cafes, museums and local markets and shops. Property is extremely secure and clean and is helpfully equipped with a washing machine. It is competitively priced.
• Hector (9/5): Eccellente - La posizione centrale . Nulla
• Michele (10/5): posizione centralissima ad un prezzo conveniente - posizione centralissima gentilezza dell’host camera un po spartana ma graziosa pulizia
• Sergey (10/5): -
• Yehonatan (9/5): -
• 近藤 (8/5): ここに泊まれてとても良かったです。 - とにかくドゥオウモのすぐ近くという立地が最高でした。どこに行くにもとても便利でした。 コーヒー、調味料、洗剤、アイロンなど必要な物を用意していて下さったのはとても助かりました。 敢えて言えばオーブンのツマミが壊れていた事、 上階の物音や周りの音が夜遅くまでうるさかった事。でも、それはこの立地でこのクオリティの部屋をこの価格で使用できるなら、あまり気にならない事だと思います。
• Alessandro (10/5): - Ottima posizione, dimensioni giuste, accessoriata
• France (9/5): Wow notre hôte nous a bien conseillé. - L’emplacement vraiment super La proximité de tout
• karen (9/5): Un mono ambiente con todas las comodidades en pleno centro de Firenze. - Todo. Muy bien equipado, limpio, Roberto un anfitrión muy amable y compartió muchos tips y datos de la ciudad. En la parte superior de la entrada al baño había moho y eso me dio un poco de incomodidad porque estaba resfriada.
• Jennifer (8/5): Great value in a perfect location and has everything you need eed - We loved the location, liked having washer and dryer for our clothes. It was noisy at night. Also, did not like having to use 4 different keys to get into our apt.
• Zhenyuan (8/5): -
• Yim Yung (9/5): Excellent for tourist’s stay . Duomo is just opposite to the property ; shops and restaurants around - Friendly host , excellent location . Shower is weak .
• Ann (10/5): -
• Koon Lai (9/5): Centrally located with best host! - The host and the location are the best! The washing machine and kitchenette! The bed, blanket and pillows are all good! The early morning church bell, not long but surprised us. Now you knew it will not be surprised. The bathroom is pretty small.
• Zigy (7/5): It was difficult to block out the noise outside the street. It was a very busy street but that’s what you get if you’re - The closeness to everything to the attractions right around the corner from the Duomo Hot plate in the kitchen kept turning itself off while you’re cooking very annoying also no shelf in the shower.
• Sandra Noguera (10/5): Muy buena ubicacion - Roberto nos estaba esperando muy amablemente ya que nuestro vuelo se retraso, nos dio las indicaciones para llegar fácilmente y muchas recomendaciones de la ciudad. Esta muy bien ubicado muy cerca al domo nos permitió recorrer todos los puntos de interés de la ciudad fácilmente. Muy confortable y organizado. luego del cheking nos permitió guardar el equipaje para poder disfrutar de la ciudad hasta la salida de nuestro tren.
• Firas (8/5): Excellent value for a 3-star stay just steps from the Duomo, I would gladly return. - 1) The location is excellent, just a few steps from the Duomo, which is the main highlight. 2) Check-in is done by meeting Roberto (representative) at the building entrance, while checkout is simple: just leave the keys inside the room. 3) The room is nice and functional, just set your expectations accordingly for a 3-star accommodation. 4) The apartment includes all essential amenities such as a washing machine, fridge, and kitchenware. 5) Excellent value for money. The below is for awareness only, as these points didn’t affect my overall review. The accommodation, like most others near the Duomo, is located in a traditional city building, so keep in mind the following: 1) There is no reception desk, so luggage storage before check-in or after checkout isn’t available. 2) There is no elevator, and the apartment is on the 2nd or 3rd floor. So it is better to travel light or use nearby luggage storage services. 3) The space is compact, including the room, shower, and bathroom, which is expected for this type of building. 4) The bathroom photo showed a handheld bidet, but it wasn’t available in the apartment. 5) You’ll receive one set of four keys: one for the building entrance, one for the stairwell, one for the floor entry, and one for the apartment door. 6) As with most older buildings, sound insulation is limited, so noise from neighbors can be heard.
• Olivier (10/5): - Proximity to main attractions
• Ygor (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect, to one side it is the San Lorenzo / Central market, which is a great place to eat at almost any time for an amazing quality-price ratio, and to the other side you have the Duomo square which leads to almost everything: shopping, museums, sights, etc. The location is so central every night you will hear street musicians playing on the square. This might be awesome or an inconvinience depending on your tastes. The kitchen is a bit limited, but enough to cook basic meals and heat food. Finally, the building itself (leading to the appartment) is very dark, which might be an issue for some eye sight conditions.
• Monica (10/5): Great Stay in the heart of Florence - The location is perfect—across from a store and close to the Duomo. It had everything we needed. We would stay again for sure—great price for value.
• Chunsheng (8/5): Great location, good facilities, but bad check in process. - The location is perfect. We wait outside for one hour for the owner to come for check in.
• Sara (10/5): A comfortable and well equipped apartment in a wonderful location. -
• Shuang (10/5): The location is perfect, 2mins walk to the Duomo and 11mins walk from the train station. Washing machine helps a lot! I - The location, washing machine, safety, clean room and the manager Roberto Nothing
• Alexander (9/5): Superb - This is a great place both inside and out! 50 meters to the Duomo, the very center. Opposite is a great supermarket. The apartment is spacious, bright, has everything you need and even an iron and a washing machine. The bed is comfortable and the bed linen is of excellent quality. The owner of the apartment is very kind, helped us navigate and quickly solved the problem that we created ourselves. Thank you very much, Roberto! This apartment is too sad to rent for 1-2 nights. We stayed there for 7 days and felt like real Florentines. We will definitely come back here again.
• Charles (7/5): Good - Right in the historic district, you can enjoy a late night stroll in the cathedral when it is less crowded. 7mins walk from unita station where you get from the airport Roberto and Sara are very responsive and accommodating, I will book with them again if I get back to Florence
• Aleksandrina (9/5): Great location, you can even hear the church bells in the morning. - The apartments had everything we needed. We booked both apartments and it was great for our group. The location was perfect. The bathroom in the studio is a bit small. And the bathroom itself is separated by a curtain and a sliding door, which was a bit odd. Also, in the studio, you can hear the church bells in the morning. I guess being in a good location has a price.
• Kostochka (10/5): Exceptional - It was fantastic experience to stay at this apartment due to it’s location (because you will find it from any place in the city), host communication, apartment conditions
• Anucha (10/5): Convenient and comfortable apartment in the middle of historical landmarks and monuments. - Great location, near Duomo, close to everything. Comfortable beds. A bit challenging when carrying big luggages up the stairs but understandable as this is witihn historic building.
• Maria (5/5): Passable - Location is top - Near to all the Florence top attractions and you can do everything walking. The host very active for the check in I don’t recommend going with elderly people or children as there are only stairs and no elevator. Limited dishware (only 2 glasses) and just 1 trash bag for 3 days, no coffee or anything. Very small apartment. The fridge doesn’t cool well. Very basic amenities and goods in the apartment. They don’t provide shampoo or anything for the bathroom.
• Jessica (6/5): Pleasant - The manager was friendly. The location is 👍. Wifi was absolutely strong. Too many keys and doors to get to the room apartment. Water pressure in the bathroom was weak and need to adjust the water temperature from time to time. Bathroom sink is too small. No shampoo nor shower liquid soap provided for the stay. The aircon really did not cool the entire room.
• Natalia (10/5): Perfect 👍 - Location, location, location Fast response to the questions Nice attitude of the manager Trash disposal- was not very clear, how
• Kristina (10/5): If I will ever plan on coming back to Florence I will make sure to see if this property is available! - It was absolutely perfect. Spacious enough for one person. All the amenities, great location. I really appreciated the AC and the WiFi. The staff that met me there was helpful and got me some great info for my week on Florence! Everything was great I didn’t have anything to complain about
• Victor (10/5): Exceptional - Was great
• Walker (7/5): Good - Bed is comfortable, wifi works well. Very clean. 15 min walk to train station. Great little takeaways across the road & shop next door. Not many restaurants close by. Fridge did not keep cold drinds cold. No ice available after breakfast.
• Humood (9/5): Excellent location with worm welcoming - Location It has almost everything we needed No cleaning daily Very tiny toilet
• Xingyang (9/5): Superb - clean and very convenient location Wife didn’t work those days, but it seemed not a normal situation.
• Annastasia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Denis (8/5): Excellent location; good value. Friendly service. - Location was superb; right around the corner from the Duomo. Nice to have a coffee maker and free coffee for the mornings. Also had a washing machine which was handy. Wifi was spotty at best. Neighbours could be loud but you are in an apartment building.
• Michelle (9/5): Superb -
• Yolande (9/5): Superb -
• Mauricio (6/5): Central Apartment in Florence - The location is great! Close to main attractions and 15min walk from the train station where you can go to other cities for day trips or take the 20-min tram to the airport. Because it is in a busy street, you can hear outside noise in the apartment. The first night, we didn't know about the second window, and it was extremely loud. Make sure you close both windows to have quiet apartment. Check-in was complicated as we arrived late and communication with the host wasn't that easy before our arrival. Also, we had to pay EUR20 fee for late check-in. There are stairs to the apartment, so keep that in mind. The kitchen is improvised (inside a cabinet) and very small (we didn't get the apartment with the full kitchen), but we made it work. It is definitely a plus to have a washing machine! The shower space was narrow but fine. Check-in process was stressful as host was not great communicating before it and provided conflicting information when compared to the Booking page.
• Özdemir (9/5): excellent - location, comfort noisy street, no elavator
• Santiago (10/5): Excellent experience - Roberto provided helpful tips, apartment clean, and with all the commodities listed. Surprisingly quiet, location can't be better.
• Bojana (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect (worth coming just because of it), bed very comfortable. The apartment had everything that you need for short and longer stay. It is exactly how you see it in the pictures There is an aircon in the bedroom, but it is not enough to heat the entire apartment. Another heating device would be recomendable. This is not a problem in the summer months but since we were there mid to late February, it was a bit cold
• Mariia (9/5): Perfect location, comfortable apartment, attentive, friendly host. -
• Kimberley (9/5): Great stay - Amazing location, great host, and great room. The room was very comfortable Lots of stairs so make sure to have small bags.
• Claude (8/5): Very good -
• Anita (10/5): I will come again for my next stay in Florence. Location was ideal, walking distance to everything. - Great location! Awesome space.
• Kate (8/5): Very good - Comfortable bed sit, well equipped and roomy. Modern feel in a sensational location. Access was by stair.
• Jolley (10/5): Perfect location. Great to have facilities - We arrived a bit early. Contacted the hosts and they arrived within the hour. Had a beer while we waited No bottle opener or corkscrew. Minor I know. Early morning deliveries to the supermarket opposite did wake us.
• Pessemier (7/5): Good -
• Luke (10/5): Great location for a short visit - Amazing location, perfect for a short stay
• Jose (8/5): Overall stay was good. Be nice to have a more comfortable bed. - Location Bed is not comfortable
• Xiaoyu (8/5): Very good -
• Nadia (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (7/5): Close to the vibe of the centre of town, only down side js the noise very early in the morning as supermarket restocked. - Location is close to Duomo & walking distance to many attractions. The washing machine & iron were a bonus. The location also proved to be an issue as it is close to supermarket and restaurants, from 5:30am-7am there was a LOT of noise as cleaners removed bottles and restocked the supermarket. Extreme noise
• Georges (5/5): Passable -
• Sheryl (9/5): Fantastic. - The location was fantastic. While close to the centre it was still quiet enough. Having a washer dryer was a great feature also. Decor was a little bit older in the dining area but not a real problem. Need to be aware with heavy suitcases you gave to walk up two sets of stairs.
• Kuri (8/5): The location couldn’t be better. I would stay there again if I ever went back to Firenze. - No paper towels or body soap. Old coffee beans were in the coffee machine.
• Petra (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christos (9/5): Superb -
• Andrew (9/5): Convenient for everything - Nice apartment just around the corner from the Duomo. The street below has some good restaurants and the supermarket opposite is very convenient. Only a 10 minute walk to the station Would stay here again
• Giorgos (8/5): Very good -
• Abdullah (6/5): perfect location, not so perfect studio apartment - location. 11/10. just a few steps from the duomo square. it was super convenient as we took a few breaks between our walking tours the whole day. i liked also the apartment came with a washing machine and a decent kitchen. staff who met us was very helpful and friendly and gave us good suggestions. - the toilet doesn’t have a door. just a curtain. - there was a lot of dust behind the furniture which indicates that they don’t do deep cleaning here. - the wifi in the apartment is really bad and half the time didn’t work without disconnecting every few minutes. and our mobile network didn’t work properly so it was difficult to plan our next part of the trip without going out and sit in a cafe. - There was not enough toilet paper, no iron for the clothes and no bathroom shower gel etc.. I expect these things for the price paid.
• Jennie (9/5): Very enjoyable - Perfect location It would have been nice to have a small couch to sit on. We were there for a week.
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Sara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arthur (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, had everything you could wish for & is located right in the center of Firenze. The Duomo is literally around the corner, and good restaurants are to be found all over. Roberto, our host, was a sweet and intelligent man, who was able to tell us a lot about Firenze, as he obviously has a passion for culture, art, religion & architecture. I would recommend this room to anyone looking to have a great time in Firenze!
• Maja (10/5): Exceptional -
• Colon (9/5): the staff is super helpful - great location kitchen is very small and access is only by stairs
• Alex (9/5): Superb -
• Melinda (9/5): perfect central location and well equipped for one or two guests. - great location, very clean and quiet. equipped with everything you need. surprisingly quiet for such a busy area. lots of stairs! no lift so folks with lots of luggage may have a problem.
• Tina (10/5): Perfect location - Location could not have been better. The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed for a few days stay. Communication with the host was excellent. If I was being really picky I’d say the only thing to improve would be if there was a small sofa in the living area to sit comfortably after a busy day sightseeing.
• Maher (8/5): Very good - located in city center. the AC was too small for the room and it wasn't cooling the room. the internet was too slow the mobile reception was very weak.
• Mark&gabrielle (9/5): Would definitely recommend! - Great value, fantastic location. - The property is in a great location, very convenient for all of the major attractions in Florence (is right on the corner of the Duomo square). Clean, comfortable, has an iron and washing machine and good kitchen facilities. Plenty of restaurants nearby including a great Osteria right below. Would definitely stay here again. There is a few flights of stairs to climb and no lift. This didnt bother us but may need to be considered by others.
• Garry (9/5): Excellent spot and really well appointed and secure flat on third floor - Location to Duomo complex and train station can’t be beat. Comfortable for 2 people Neighbors above are quite noisy
• Francois (8/5): Very good - Location couldn't be better......right at the Duomo.......very secure also.......ac was great Bathroom was very small.......water pressure was ok.......toilet cramper by the shower door......morning bell at 7.30 am.....and every half hour.......only place to sit was at the kitchen table or bed......would have like to watch little tv after a long day walking around......but only in italian and had to sit at the kitchen table to watch.......so the location is what make it worth it
• Linda (8/5): Great location and host responded very quickly to all queries. - The property is in a great location. It is on the main road and is close restaurants, and the main site seeing locations. The apartment was on the second level. There was no lift. However, this is very common throughout Florence.
• Jacqueline (8/5): Great, affordable place for a weekend stay in Florence. - Fantastic location, just down the street from the Duomo but quiet enough to have a good night’s sleep. The air conditioning worked really well, even in 35 degree heat. Sara and Roberto were super friendly and made sure we had a nice stay. The mattress could have been more comfortable, but we still slept pretty well.
• Anonymous (9/5): would stay here again, but make sure to leave in the morning so that I am not stranded with my luggage - the location is the best!!! you walk out and everything h. everything is at your doorstep! it’s amazing. the place our train was in the afternoon and we were unable to store lu to store our luggage.
• דניאל (10/5): Perfect stay at a wonderful apartment! - Usually I like hotels more but this time I was extremely pleased that I chose this property instead. It had everything I needed and even more. the rooms are spacious, the bed is comfy, the kitchen is very convenient and practical - came with all the kitchenware and stove to make meals etc. the best part was the macchinetta and lots of good grinded Italian coffee to make perfect strong Italian style coffee in the morning to start a great day! Good sound isolation, perfect location, and Roberto the host was helpful and he's just a great guy! the only problem was that the AC wasn't strong enough to deal with the heat at this season. but was okay.
• Büşra (8/5): Very good - wifi, air conditioner
• Andrew (6/5): Great location and host but poor air conditioning and WiFi - The location was right in the city center and very close to the Florence train station. The residence was very spacious with a kitchenette. Roberto was a great host who would send me lots of information on places to go visit for sight seeing and even different restaurants/shops along with special local dishes to try. The air conditioner didn't work very well as the room remained warm my entire stay except on days when the weather cooled down significantly. I also think they need to clean the AC filter as I developed a bad cough while the AC was on so I eventually stopped using it since it didn't cool down the room much anyways. Overall, I found it very difficult to sleep due to the heat and cough. I would also wake up numerous times a night to blow my nose as there was a lot of dust or dirt in the air. The WiFi was horrendous, it was super slow when it worked but the majority of the time it kept connecting and reconnecting after a couple minutes. Attempting to use my data plan within the room was also not possible as the signal wasn't very good (Vodafone plan).
