Guest Reviews
- Inga-Bodil (8/5): -
- Henrique (10/5): - Achamos perfeita a localização. Apartamento confortável, com ótimo chuveiro. A cama não era muito confortável para o meu gosto.
- Armela (10/5): -
- Roberto (7/5): Home in Florence - It felt like a home base. Had what we needed.
Albert Chianti day trip fantastico. Just the squeaky bathroom door.
- Diana (5/5): - Локация хорошая. Очень мрачно, не чувствовала уют.
- Tracy (9/5): I would stay here again. It was cool, pretty and comfortable. - Excellent location. Very near market and train station. Lots of restaurants around. Room was as expected. Clean. Good hot water and water pressure for shower. Kitchen facilities were good. Building has elevator. Helpful for luggage. Very small elevator, though. Feels very "Florence". Room had dramatic ceiling and cool windows. Room was a little noisy when others were coming and going from their rooms. The toilet had a lot of trouble flushing. Loved the quilts, but pillows weren't great. Lights were a bit harsh. Had to cover them to use them.
- Antonio Luís (8/5): -
- Murat (7/5): -
- Milena (10/5): - Unbeatable location, perfectly clean, very cozy apartment. Very good communication with owner.
- Giuseppe (8/5): Struttura molto accogliente e centrale 😄 - Posizione ,ospitalità e stanza accogliente Luce della stanza e tv erano collegate, quindi non si poteva vedere la tv al buio, perche se spegnevi la luce si spegneva anche la tv
- david (7/5): Céntrico y cuidado - Muy buena ubicación. Es una casa antigua pero todo limpio y cuidado
Los dueños estuvieron pendientes de nosotros y cuando se estropeó el keypad, llegaron enseguida El colchón . Poco luminoso
- Shane (10/5): Hosts very welcoming and nice, very cool apartment and comfortable. Definitely recommend - Very central, close to everything Noise upstairs but not from B&B

- joaquin (9/5): - La ubicación inmejorable. El cuarto de baño nuevo y perfecto. La cocina bien equipada y un detalle proporcionar café. El colchón de la cama debería cambiarse
- Gonzalez (10/5): - La habitación es tal como te muestran en las fotos al igual que el baño.
Súper limpio, cómodo y acogedor. El baño muy hermoso, amplio y limpio.
En la cocina tenés un montón de elementos para cocinar, calentar agua para el mate, hacerte unas tostadas, etc.
Me fui muy contenta del lugar. -
- MARCELO (7/5): - No podía controlar la calefacción y pasamos frío algunas noches
- Francesco Zoccolante (9/5): - Ho apprezzato molto lo stile dell' arredamento della camera che mi e stata assegnata e la posizione della struttura. Confortevole il letto matrimoniale. Molto comoda la disponibilità di una cucina, sia pure in condivisione con gli altri ospiti del B & B. Nulla di particolarmente negativo da segnalare. Sarebbe desiderabile un ascensore più spazioso, ma credo che non sia possibile realizzarlo.
- Josefina luciana (9/5): Excelente - Todo excelente, nos ofrecieron guardar las valijas antes y después de nuestro check out. Tenían una cocina súper equipada y linda Solo no le pongo 10 porque el baño se encontraba fuera de la habitación, al final del pasillo
- Alessio (7/5): -
- WEIZHU (10/5): -

- Masih HM (9/5): -
- Artur (7/5): - Lokalizacja była super. Pokój za mały dla 2 osób. Problem z regulacją wody ciepła/zimna. Zepsuta suszarka.
- Cheryl (8/5): Everything was fine, we love how clean the bathroom was but its in another side of corridor….also, i wish to have anothe - clean bathroom and cozy bedroom No soundproof
- Ulrike (10/5): - Tolle Lage mitten in der City, liebevoll eingerichtet
- Falchi (9/5): Soggiorno perfetto - Posizione eccezionale, nel cuore di San Lorenzo, a pochi minuti dalla stazione e dai principali siti, tutti raggiungibili facilmente a piedi. Camera accogliente e pulita, appartamento che rispecchia alla perfezione la descrizione. La struttura offre anche la possibilità di fare un tour enogastronomico di qualche ora nelle colline fuori città a 75€ a persona. Nel complesso tutto perfetto
- Margotta (7/5): -
- Isabel (10/5): Lovely place - Everything! Place is amazing, better than in the pictures. Unbelievable location, 2 minutes away of the Domo, supermarkets, restorants, etc very close.
The owners were very kind, they allow me an early check in. It was perfect 😊 It all was good.
- Irene (10/5): Perfetto, se dovessi tornare a Firenze riprenoterei! - Tutto, la posizione comodissima, l’arredamento super cozy e originale ci ha fatti sentire subito a casa Nulla
- Escobar Bellasina (10/5): Excellent, definitely will be back - The stay was great, we really loved the location, I think it is the best one possible, you are close to pretty much everything, il duomo is just 5 minutes walking, Ponte vechio maximum of 15 minutes walking, a los of places to eat, there a pharmacy at the corner of the street and a carrefur, very convenient. loved the place, enter with a code so it’s easy, the bed was really comfortable. I liked everything
- Raquel (9/5): -
- Ivanovic (10/5): -
- Maria Isabel (9/5): Excelente ubicación y maravillosa estadía - La ubicación es excelente, cerca de todas las atracciones turísticas, central y se consigue de todo. La cocina es genial, se tiene de todo para cocinar y está impecable. Todo muy agradable en el lugar. Volvería sin pensarlo Solo los inquilinos del momento, uno llegó a media noche a pegarse al timbre y otros hicieron escándalo a las 4 de la mañana.
- Juliana (8/5): - Perfect location. Big room with comfortable bed. The accommodation has 3 bedrooms. The one I stayed in was a suite with a private bathroom. However, next to our room there was an external bathroom that belonged to guests from another room. This caused a lot of noise during the night and early in the morning.
- Šarić (10/5): -
- Jessica (8/5): Kan absolut tänka mig att bo här igen om jag kommer till Florens. - Det låg väldigt centralt. Det var rent och välstädat när vi kom dit, vi hade ett rum med egen dusch och toalett. Kontrakten med personalen sköttes via booking och whats up på ett mycket smidigt sätt. Vägbeskrivningen och hur man checkade in var väldigt tydligt. Det fanns ett kök med bland annat ett kylskåp. Lite lyhört
- Tatyana (7/5): - Location, host is nice and attentive. Noisy next door occupants waking us up 1.30 and 4.30 in the morning.while trying to open their door. Brutal.
- Nora (10/5): Gracias - Excelente ubicación!!! Bred y Nadja nos brindaron muy valiosa información para tener una estadía inolvidable!!! Hermosa habitación y la cocina completísima y organizada. Volvería nuevamente!! Muchas gracias Strange Uncle 🎷🎷
- Heather C (9/5): - Beds were super comfy, loved having a fully equipped kitchen & fantastic proximity to key points of interest. Hosts were very responsive and check-in & out was a breeze! I appreciated having the photo of the door to help recognize that we were in the right spot upon arrival. While we appreciated having a private bathroom, it was detached & down the hall from our room & only accessible with a key (or to be left unlocked?)

- Bianka (8/5): Kis családias ékszerdoboz firenze szívében - Nagyon könnyen megközelíthetőek a fő atrakciók. Mindenhova gyalog mentünk. Az étterem ajánlatok is jók voltak, amit a szállásadó ajánlott. Mi egy másfél éves kislánnyal voltunk és ő is nagyon élvezte az itt létet. A szőnyegen el tudott játszani. Volt kávé kapszula ami nagyon jól jött a reggeleken. A közös konyha is jól felszerelt. Az árusok az est nagy részében a kocsijukat huztak vonták az utcában. Ez igen zavaró volt, ha esetleg valaki olyan gyerekkel jön aki nem birja a zajokat este annak problémát jelenthet. Kicsi volt a lift, egy ember fér be. A másodikon van a szállás, szóval nem nagy megerőltetés. Mi lépcsőztünk lefelé, felfelé lifteztünk. A szobánkhoz tartozó fürdőszoba a folyosó végén volt a többi szoba szomszédságában. Az esti fürdetés kicsit több logisztikát igényelt ezáltal. Rajtunk kívűl még egy szobában voltak, nem zavartuk egymást.
- Victoria (10/5): - Es un lugar maravilloso, es como estar en casa. La ubicación es perfecta y el lugar aún más. Cuenta con cocina compartida que tiene todo lo necesario para preparar alimentos. La habitación en la que estuvimos con mi hija era hermosa, muy cómoda y limpia. Volvería sin duda😊
- Eliana Marcela (10/5): Lo mejor de Florencia - El lugar es tal como las fotos, muy iluminado y acogedor. Además tiene cocina que te permite preparar alimentos allí, fue una excelente opción. Todo estuvo demasiado bien
- Eva-Maria (9/5): Top Preis Leistung - Die Lage ist unschlagbar und alles war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sowie das Bad sehr neu ist. Leider quietscht eine Bettseite bei jedem Drehen und die Matratzen sind irre weich. Die Fenster sind auch nicht leicht zu öffnen, aufgrund des Alters vermutlich.
- Dathao (9/5): - Location and clean Check in
- lydia (10/5): - L'emplacement au pied des monuments et en même temps au calme
le cadre déco superbe
Parking payant à proximité mais cher Pas de personnel tout par téléphone mais au final pas vraiment un problème vu qu'aucun soucis rencontré
- Anna (8/5): Great base for exploring Florence - Great location to explore Florence, the room has everything you need and the bed is comfortable. Nothing!
- Desiré (9/5): Top verblijf gehad! Locatie perfect en een hele leuke kamer. Zeker aan te bevelen! - Locatie en leuke kamer Iets wat gehorig
- Javier (5/5): - La ubicacion El baño privado al final de un pasillo y no en la habitacion
- Michele (10/5): Ottimo sogggiorno a due passi dal centro storico. - Il check in ed il check out sono elettronici con un’ottima disponibilità oraria. La struttura è curata e pulita e presenta belle decorazioni. Ho trovato deliziosa la parete decorata con dediche e disegni lasciati da tutti i visitatori del b&b. I gestori sono molto gentili e disponibili. La posizione è senza meno ottimale per la vicinanza al centro storico. Mi sono trovata benissimo :)
- Laureline (8/5): - La localisation idéale La chambre sur rue est bruyante
- Per (8/5): Ett stopp i Florence med ett glas champagne i solnedgången och där efter en god middag - Rent trevligt och bekvämt
- Gema (7/5): -
- D'ambrosio (6/5): -
- Danijela (10/5): - Sve nam se svidjelo, domacini su izuzetno susretljivi i od pomoci. Hvala, vratit cemo se..😊
- Wojciech (8/5): -
- Morgan (8/5): - La chambre était très belle, très confortable Personnel inexistant, qui ne voulais pas pas nous prendre la taxe de séjour par carte bleue. Mur très fin, un buveur malade nous a partager sont désarroi toute la nuit.
- Marco (7/5): -
- Mallett-mcarthur (8/5): thoroughly enjoyed it and felt as if I really experienced Venice in an authentic way!! - it was in such a great location and the decor of the property was done so well!! A private bathroom and the well ventilated room was very nice! The bed could have been a bit softer..and weren’t many staff around that often but apart from that!
- Melissa (7/5): Good for tourists but no staff onsite. - The location was very good! Close to the Duomo but far enough away so it was quiet. The AC worked well and it was nice to have the ensuite bathroom. This B&B is not staffed. Everything is done through messages and automated pin pads/locks. When I stay at B&Bs, I think part of the experience is to meet the owners and gain local knowledge from them.
- Osama (9/5): Superb -
- Alvira (7/5): Cosy and pleasant stay. - The original place which we booked is on renovation, so the staff arranged us a stay in another nice hotel. It was really comfortable and we had a lounge outside where we can have tea or coffee. We wasn't aware we were given a total different hotel. We lost our way as the staff didn't inform us the building name. There were 2 types of block numbers which is very confusing. It was rainy, and we had to keep calling the staff to tell us the way. It took us an hour to find the place, which isn't convenient.
- Arun (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect, we were centrally located and got to check out all the different things in Florence that we wanted to see. Almost everything was a quick walk away. Bred and Nadja were very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. N/A
- Solimar (7/5): Good -
- Roxi (6/5): Pleasant - The location The facilities..not so comfortable to share the bathroom.The toilet was not no easy to use
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miro (9/5): Superb - walking distance to the city center
- Giovanna (9/5): Great location - Great location, close to Piazza San Giovanni.
Clean place and had a pod coffe maker which was a plus. There is construction going on at the main floor so there is construction dust all over the stairs and wasn’t able to use the handrails which made difficult to bring luggage upstairs.
Power outlets need changing, when conecting converters they were loose.
- Sultanov (9/5): Superb - The apartment is really nice, perfect location, clean, and the host is so friendly and welcoming.
- Jerwin (8/5): Very good -
- Lauriane (9/5): Location was perfect. - Location is perfect. Very central and you have walking access to everything in Florence. Pretty noisy at night. But they provide earplugs.
- Qian (7/5): Good - Location is great! We need to share toilet and the flash doesn’t work well for the 2nd day we stayed.
I understand this building itself is 300years old but the toilet should be up running. Apart from that, everything else is great!
- Li-hsien (4/5): Not recommended due to the noise and toilet - Good location, fast response from hosts, a room with theme, good kitchen Unbearable noise from the streets at 6AM and 11PM (even with ear plugs), toilet not very clean and the flush doesn’t work properly
- Christine (10/5): Feedback - Bred and Nadja were so welcoming and helpful. They told us where we could find the Laundermat, supermarket, etc. No lifts for our luggage.
- Riccardo (8/5): Very good -
- Trenčanský (6/5): Pleasant - Nice location and cozy Room Trough the whole night there were loud noises from hallway. The walls and the Doors didnt isolate any noise and it was immpossible to sleep… Maybe changing the old keys for new ones should help, or at least some warning About loudness in the room…
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay at Strange Uncle in the Bourbon St room. Great location and communication with Bred & Nadja was great. Can recommend the trip with Alberto in his blue car to the oldest winery in Chianti. Lovely man and great little trip.
- Gueli (7/5): Good -
- Al-qaisia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (7/5): Good -
- Eduardo (7/5): Good - The location was excellent, around 10 minutes from the train station and the Dome Square. We never meet the employees, but they were helpful on our requests via whatsapp. The toilet could be improved: the shower was a bit loose. The room had no air contidioner, but the fan helped a bit (it was really hot that week, so cannot blame the hotel).
- Judit (10/5): Exceptional - Hosts extremely nice always reachable when I had questions, everything was fine. The apartment is very cozy literally in the center of center. Would for sure rebook when returning to Firenze Everything was fine
- Mariia (8/5): Great location - Location is very good. Clean. Communication with owner was quick. It was quite hot. Window facing closed space and no fresh air. AC is definitely needed.
- Nenad (4/5): Disappointing - Great location, some rooms are great, kitchen was fine, and communication smooth. The room we got at first was extremely humid and it was really hard to breathe. We wanted to open the window, but there was construction going on outside and the smell coming in was even worse than the humid air inside! In our opinion this room should not be rented, as long as the construction is going on. We were informed about the construction, but didn't know that room is in this state.
- Pinghsun (7/5): Good - The location is located nearby the city center. You can easily get on the public transport. Mostly, there is almost no noise when you stay in the room. The neighborhood was working on some construction when I arrived. The contruction outside of the window is a possible path for thief so it didn't feel safe to leave the window open during the night time. This further makes the room temperature increase a lot since the air can not flow in/out as the winodw is closed. Because of this, I woke up so many times and unable to sleep well. The fan does not help at all.
Luckily, the construction was finished after two nights.
- Bangsun (7/5): Good -
- Mary (4/5): Under construction, plain fumes, no elevator but prime location! - Property was in prime location, to markets, train station and restaurants! We were not informed that the building was under renovation. We had high paint fumes throughout the building/our room and could hear workers doing their job. At one point when we opened our window there was a worker outside…
Understand that this happens sometimes but if we had known we would’ve booked elsewhere as we were traveling with a young family, not ideal.
There is also no elevator and you have to walk 44 steps up. Not pleasant with heavy bags.
- Maayan (6/5): Central accommodation - SUPER central location - if you’re only there to sleep then it’s perfect.
Comfortable bed
Never had to wait more than 5-10mins for the bathroom and it gets cleaned daily
Lovely hosts who respond quickly
Good kitchen No natural light in room
There was also construction going on right outside from 8am
Shower leaked so floor would be wet after first shower until the next day when it was cleaned
No full length mirror in room
Cleaning could’ve been better in the room - there was some dust on the floor
You can hear everything in the apartment - apart from the first night when people arrived back late, the other guests never made noise but to be aware for other lightsleepers
- Roger (10/5): Highly recommend. - Perfect location. Great value. Good communication. Able to store luggage before and after checkout. One shared bathroom for all guests.
- Gossage (9/5): Nadja was extremely helpful and welcoming - Location No windows
- Surya (8/5): Great value to be so close to downtown - Close to center - quiet for sleep I came at night and the stairway was very dark and a little scary, it was confusing to know which door after going up the 44 stairs
- Natalia (6/5): Pleasant - Nice location, the apartment was clean. They were making a reconstruction of the building and we could not open properly the windows. They haven't informed us until a few days before our arrival. Also the bed was a little bit uncomfortable. It was really noisy at night. We couldn't sleep because people from the near rooms were making a lot of noise. In addition every time someone was using the shared bathroom we woke up because of the bad soundproofing.
- Milind (6/5): Pleasant - Kitchen was good to sit and cook. Room was not clean except bed. All lights were not working which made room dark. Wardrobe was junk.
Bathroom has flush issue.
