Guest Reviews

• Varun Anand (10/5): - Location, host, all required amenities, home feeling
• Nell (3/5): - the host insisted on about 20 minutes of showing us around the tiny room , whilst we were in a rush. The keys were very hard to use , both nights trying to get back in took around 15 mins. Location is about 20 min walk from the centre. Didn’t feel particularly safe especially at night. Definitely not worth the money , very overpriced for a barely functional room. Property was not clean , hair and dust in bed , dirt in the shower ETC. and finally the shutters do not block the light and so room is bright as soon the sun comes up.
• Massimiliano (10/5): Consigliatissimo - Avevo già soggiornato circa 10 anni fa ed essendomi trovato benissimo ho deciso di ritentare. Struttura da 10 se consideriamo rapporto qualità/prezzo, host eccezionale.
• Matteo (7/5): - Cucina ben fornita, bagno ben fornito, personale gentile, ottima posizione Materassi scomodi, pulizia da migliorare
• Peter (10/5): Thank you to Il Gatto for helping us enjoy our stay in Florence - The property owner/host Dr.Piacenti (aka Il Gatto) and his wife were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. The location of the apartment is very convenient for the city centre bus and T2 tram that stops at "Belfiore" at the end of Via Benedetto Marcello, two stops from the Santa Maria Novella Station, as well as going to Peretola Airport. There is a good discount supermarket nearby, as well as chemist and taxi rank if needed. There is a washing machine on the balcony which proved very handy. Everyone we met in the locality was more than helpful. Thank you. I wish there had been a lift instead of stairs but worth the climb to stay in the quiet apartment away from the hustle and bustle of Florence but within easy reach. Also you must be aware of a street numbering system that does not always work consecutively for historic reasons.
• Emanuel (9/5): Superb -
• Marilyn (9/5): Superb - The host was very anxious to make sure we were happy. There was a bowl of fresh fruit in the fridge, and he explained how to get to some of the tourist sites. The apartment was at the top of 3 flights of stairs.
• Matt (8/5): Very good - Good quiet location, spacious apartment as in the photos, good value for money. The owner is also very friendly and helpful.
• Keith (7/5): Good -
• Roberto (9/5): Great host and nice apartment - The host was very helpful, made a great effort to communicate with us, gave us great recommendations, was honest and sensible. Although the building looks old, the apartment is very comfortable, has air conditioning, TV, an iron, washing machine, a dehumidifier in the bathroom, a fully furnished kitchen, and windows with mosquito protection. It is very safe as well. THE BUILDING HAS NO ELEVATOR. It is not the owner's fault, but take it into account before renting. The shower space is tiny, so make sure you are flexible enough to wash yourself without bending over. Location is somewhat far from downtown, although it's easy to get there by public transport.
• Camelia (10/5): For the first time in Florence - Florence is definitely one of my favourite cities! Near the studio we rented there is a bus stop, tram, but you can easily walk to the train station and the city centre. The host, a particularly kind and friendly man , gave us countless information. He even called a travel agency for us and booked us on a day trip to Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. And if that wasn't enough, he picked us up in his car and took us to admire Florence from piazzale Michelangelo and the Abazzia di San Miniato al Monte. We'll happily return to Florence, especially since I know where we'll be staying.
• Farid (8/5): Very good - The owner was very friendly and hospitable.
• Grace (10/5): An excellent stay with the most amazing hosts! - My partner and I had an amazing stay here. The welcome from the host was wonderful, he and his wife were so friendly. We were given lots of tips and recommendations for what to do, where to eat and how to get around. We wanted to do a tour of some smaller towns/cities in Tuscany and the host was incredibly helpful - he phoned the company for us and found us the perfect tour for a great price (we were rather picky!). The room itself was lovely, it had everything we needed for our stay and more. The kitchenette was very well equipped, there was a washing machine (for which we were given detergent pods), the bed was very comfortable, the AC worked well and the WiFi was strong (good enough to stream smoothly). The location was great for us, away from the busy centre but very easy to get to anywhere you need. Most things are within walking distance but we used the bus quite a bit. The stop is so close to the apartment and the host gave us plenty of help on which bus would take us to where we wanted to go. This was an excellent place to stay, and the kindness and help from the hosts made it all the more enjoyable and memorable! Definitely stay here if you are visiting Florence. Everything was great!
• Juliana (9/5): Comfortable mini apartment with very friendly owner and easily accessible to city center - This place had everything we expected--mini kitchenette in the room, comfortable bed, small outdoor patio, and little touches like coffee grounds, fruit for breakfast, detergent pods, etc. We were greeted by Mr. Piacenti upon our arrival and he spent an hour going over all of the details of the place, showing us a map of Florence with recommendations on what to see and how to get there, and recommended local restaurants and grocery stores. The place is 2 mins walk from the nearest grocery store, and is fairly accessible to the city center by bus or tram. It was definitely nice to have the kitchenette for cooking small meals and snacks, but I would not expect to be able to cook a large meal simply given the size (it is in a cupboard in the wall), and only one of the two burners gets hot enough to really cook on it. It is not professionally managed--more like an intimate and authentic experience. We did have some trouble with the laundry machine and it took a couple of days to get directions
• Michaela (8/5): Very good - Lovely owner who gave great recommendations on where to purchase quality leather and local meals Gave us a map with direction on where to go and what buses to catch Provided us with breakfast snacks and fruit Full functioning kitchen and fridge. Allowed us to check out 30 minutes later with no Hassle Internet worked well and great aircon
• Clothilde (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment, cozy and clean, great location away from the crowd yet very central, and the host is lovely! We will come back. Nothing
• Inna (9/5): Superb - The owner was very friendly, provided lots of info and answered all the questions. He even sold some bus tickets we needed. The bus stop was quite near the property, buses running very often. We could reach all the places we needed by bus. The apartment was quite big and convenient.
• Nivedita (9/5): Superb -
• Nina (9/5): comfortably situated in a quiet residential area and very easy to get to the center. - charmingly Florentine Italian
• Saiby (1/5): Bad - The apartment is on the third floor with no elevators. The very small kitchen has very little pots and pans, which are not clean. Overall our expereince was very bad and I won't recommend this place to anyone.
• Alfred (1/5): We loved Florence, but, do ensure that your accommodation is comfortable. - there was plenty of hot water. The wardrobe was falling apart as were the draws. The kitchen area is in a unit which is also falling apart and there is no where to put things if you are cooking. The shower falls off the wall and more than once fell on both of us. The bed is 2 singles put together, not a double and is very uncomfortable indeed. We both felt that it was not very clean and in need of refurbishing. The host is a very nice guy and he is very friendly. The room is cheap but, no matter what you pay, the accommodation should be fit for purpose.
• Jake (9/5): Superb - Two separate rooms for parents and kids Washer and dryer imwas quite usuful. Just need to bring a small batch of detergent. The location is too near to take a bus, but a bit far to walk from the train station. We ended up taking the bus everytime we went out. The kitchen could be little more clean, but very usable.
• Leah (8/5): Very good -
• Judith (9/5): Lovely Owners - Everything Nothing
• Elizabeth (7/5): Good - Florence was definitely a beautiful city. Very busy though and quite expensive. Pisa and siena were lovely and train and bus travel easy. Whilst not expecting 5 star accommodation, I would describe it as adequate for our needs. It was clean enough, but furnished with an eclectic mix of furniture, linen and furnishings. The folding bathroom door did come apart, but was patched up by the owner the following day.
• Leonidas (6/5): Pleasant -
• Enio (10/5): Excellent apartments for an magnificent city as Firenze - One of the best hotel/apartments i have been so far. Great location and a super apartments. The owners is very friendly and really helpful showing us main attractions of Firenze and stores. Il Gatto Con Gli Stivali - is my go to hotel in Firenze from now on.
• Jonathan (9/5): Superb -
• Kathryn (9/5): Fantastico! - Lovely view from the balcony. Convenient location, about 25mins walk to centre. Shop 5 mins walk. Host was very helpful and friendly. Property was clean, had everything we needed. Shower head not attached to the wall.
• Julien (9/5): We loved the stay. It was very comfy and clean and the hosts helped us a lot with our visits. -
• Andrei (9/5): Authentic, cosy, amazing welcoming host. - This property is located in 25-minutes walk from the Central Railway Station and in 35-minutes walk from Santa Maria del Fiore - just perfect to burn extra calories from all the delicious Italian cuisine. The nearest Carrefour is in 7-minutes walk. The host, signore Piacenti, is a very charming and hospitable man. He gave us a map and showed us all the Florence sights worth visiting, both famous and less-known. Signore Piacenti also suggested we visit other Tuscany cities like Pisa and Siena and offered help in finding the right tour. During our stay he kept in touch and made sure that we had everything we needed. We were also offered some fruits and Italian coffee, that was really sweet. The room was nicely decorated and cosy. The furniture and appliances are a bit worn-out but clean and functional, so it only added more charm to the apartment. The balcony decorated with flowers had a table with two chairs and a nice view into the inner garden, perfect for breakfast or late dinner outside. Both AC and washing machine helped a lot, as some days were extremely hot. A perfect option for those who want an authentic Italian experience while visiting Florence. There were some instabilities in Wi-Fi connection, but they were fixed by the host quite quickly. The bathroom door couldn’t be closed properly, so it can be an issue for those who need secured privacy.
