Guest Reviews

• Albert (8/5): - Nette kamer. Kosten taxi naar vliegveld
• Debra (9/5): - Very close to the airport. Owners were very nice, and very helpful. Would definitely stay again Nothing. It was ideal for our intentions...close proximity to the airport for an early flight, and a comfortable bed. What more could you want?
• Raffaella (10/5): Consigliatissimo per breve vacanza di coppia - L'ambiente è davvero accogliente, carino e super pulito. Francesco e sua moglie Anna sono persone molto gentili e disponibili. Ci hanno anche dato diversi consigli per come muoverci in città e dove andare a mangiare. Anche se un po' fuori mano, a 2 minuti a piedi c'è un tram che conduce in centro città velocemente. Davanti all'appartamento c'è anche la possibilità di trovare parcheggi a righe bianche disponibili. Sotto l'appartamento c'e' il bar dello sport, sempre di loro gestione, dove si fa un'ottima colazione. La domenica invece il bar e' chiuso e la colazione viene consumata direttamente in appartamento. Bagno davvero pulito e moderno ma piccolino quindi il lavandino è particolarmente ridotto e il bidet è sostituito da una doccina da usare mentre sei sul water. Brioche della domenica mattina. Assaggiandole ho avuto la sensazione che fossero quelle avanzate dal sabato.
• SCHOLLIER (8/5): Bien - Petit déjeuner à l'italienne très bon, à prendre dans le sympathique café de quartier où travaillent les hôtes. Emplacement pratique à quelques minutes de la ligne de tramway desservant l'aéroport (à 10 mn) et le centre ville.
• Maria Marcela (8/5): - Impecable las instalaciones. Buen gusto El ascensor pequeño no entra silla de ruedas.. es cuestión del edificio. Dificultoso en ese caso. El baño pequeño, no pretendo adaptado o accesible.
• Olariu (1/5): - On booking it appears as an apartment for rent, but in reality you find yourself having a room in an apartment where the owner and his wife also live, and if you want to use the kitchen you have to pay extra. I have never experienced anything like this in all my travels where I have tried to rent an apartment and wake up with a room rented from a family where you are not allowed to use the kitchen even though I was with the children only if you pay But you can go through the kitchen to get to the balcony if you want to use the balcony. If you want to rent a room in an apartment and sleep with the owners in the apartment then it may be a solution but if you want to close an apartment it is to be avoided.
• Trudy (10/5): We had a great seat and the host communicated well throughout. They recused us when we had a nightmare train journey and - The apartment is a self contained room and shower room within the hosts apartment. It was lockable, clean, comfortable and breakfast was provided by the host or in the sports bar downstairs
• Suzy (7/5): A bedroom in someone's apartment - The host was kind - They did not speak English but used a translator as they greeted us and walked us through the space. The room was clean and the apartment was a few minutes walk to the train which was one stop from the airport, which is why we selected it. The owner will drive two people to the airport (~1 mile) for 40 euro. It's also about a block from a grocery store. If the posting was updated to be accurate, this bedroom may be a fine solution for some travelers. Unfortunately this posting is misleading. Perhaps it is more clear on another site such as AirBnb but for booking.com and the other Italian hotel site I found it on, it is not really as expected. This is listed on hotel sites as a Bed & Breakfast, however, it is a room inside someone else's apartment. You have to be let in as it was access to an apartment building and then walk through the owner's living/kitchen area to your bedroom. There was no indicator on the posting that this was not a hotel or at least a room with private entrance. As for the features of the "BnB," the terrace is part of the main living area and the "mini market and coffee shop" are drinks inside the owner's kitchen. I assume laundry is extra as it's not in the room. The breakfast/bar listed is served in a restaurant next door to the apartment complex (there is no mini bar or "bar" in the apartment). We had to schedule a time to meet the host which was confusing until we realized there is no front desk but the owner was coming down to meet us. There is no sign on the building due to being an apartment so it's hard to find. The room did have a separate key lock but we were caught off guard that we were staying in a room without a private entrance (especially when we thought this was a hotel with "front desk") and were concerned about walking through their living space at night or even talking. There are multiple keys to keep track of as you have to enter the front of the building, apartment, and private bedroom. There are signs everywhere with extra fees such as using the owner's kitchen etc. If a room within an apartment is expected, then the room is fine. Two twin beds pushed together/clean/has tv etc - however, we never rent rooms inside of apartments. Also not to imply the owner was not friendly, but there is no deadbolt on the room - so essentially someone could enter at any time and there is no safe.
• Susan (10/5): I particularly liked the connection to the people and the coffee bar downstairs - the location I
• Rahel (9/5): Superb - Location Clean The people
• Martin (1/5): Very unpleasant owner but clean apperment - The room was clean. The owner was more than unfriendly. He wanted to charche us 100€ to bring the room in the appartment. There was no space for our bikes in the whole house. Our solution was because we had not 100€ in cash to ask all the hotels near by if we can park the bikes there for one night. Finally we found a spot for our bikes in the hotel Mirage. The owner likes to discussion and cannot give in. It Took us two ours till we were allowed to enter the apparment and it was raining outside. One of the worst days during our bike trip.
• Baldo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lina (9/5): Superb - The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, the rooms were very comfortable. The apartment was quiet.
• Gigi (9/5): Small but nice, clean apartment close to the airport. - Very clean, good hot water, friendly helpful owners, elevator up to the apartment, close to the airport, airport transfer available. Quiet. When our flight was changed and we had to leave for the airport at 5:30 the owner’s wife drove us there herself. The apartment really consists of one room and a bathroom. We had 4 people in the room, with 2 single beds and 1 sofa bed so it was quite cramped. We were flying out the next morning early and needed to do some re-packing of our bags and there was no space to lay our bags out on the ground. It seemed a little expensive for the small space.
• Pankaj (7/5): Good - The place was very clean and comfortable. On booking.com city tax is mentioned as 10 although the person charged 22 euro. Even for holding the baggage for a few hours he mentioned 5 euro per small bag.
• Mariam (9/5): Superb -
• Jiří (10/5): Exceptional - Great location (by tram 2 stops from airport and 20 minutes to get city center). Breakfast in the bar. Very friendly and helpful landlord. No idea.
• Ioan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (9/5): Superb -
• Gala (10/5): Exceptional - Great hosts, nice and clean place
• Zoya (10/5): Exceptional - The hostess is very smiling and kind. The room is cozy and very clean. The beds are very comfortable. There is an independent air conditioner. The towels and bed linen smelled very good.. The breakfast was sufficient and tasty..The tram stop is 5 minutes from the apartment. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We would stay here again. We recommend it.😊 Нямаме забележки 😊
• Iulia (6/5): Wouldn't return - It was clean Many of the facilities mentioned on the site were missing, for example the slippers and the iron. We eventually got one after requesting it, although they told us we should have asked in advance. There was a camera on the hallway watching our every move. We wanted to use the fridge, but we were not allowed. Got charged 11 euros for using the washing machine and the dryer once. Literally everything is extra cost, but when the host presented the accomodation to us, they never mentioned anything. The host would come every day for 'daily cleaning', although nothing was actually getting cleaned. The accomodation was close to the train station, although really far from the city center. Also, there is no garden/mountain view. The breakfast was horrible! Nothing to eat basically, we had juice and croissants from Lidl, no actual food.
• James (9/5): One night in Florence - Property was nice. Proximity was very close to the Florence airport. Tram or taxi is possible. Set up is more like a B&B. Security on the property is excellent. We left very early for a flight and we’re not able to enjoy the breakfast. No issues.
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Qiu (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient to public transportation. Quiet places.
• Megan (10/5): Welcoming, clean, comfortable - I needed a room last minute and the hosts were so incredibly gracious and accommodating and the room was spotless and comfortable. Close to the airport and a grocery store across the street and a cafe downstairs. Highly recommend.
• Diana (10/5): Exceptional - it was a lovely en suite up a couple flights of stairs. super comfortable arrangement the owners were extremely helpful and picked us up at train station. they gave us info on nearby restaurants, where we could take a nice walk along a park, and provided breakfast in their coffee shop on street level. They also arranged transportation to the airport for €40. nothing
• Yohannes (8/5): Very good -
• Songwei (10/5): nice location, good price, and wonderful room - it’s very convenient for us to find the apartment. room is very clean and all equipments work well, I like it. it’s very quiet.
• Sheyra (10/5): Excellent - The owners were very nice. The facilities are super clean, the room has a very good size. Overall a nice stay - Everything very well organized and comfy. It’s somewhat far from the center but the public transportation station is closed.
• Luis (8/5): Very good - Kitchen beside bedroom not available for use.
• Nedzad (10/5): Amazing and want to come back! - The room was excellent! It was very private and had its own bathroom attached as well. It was not far from the city centre and the owner always had train tickets available.
