Guest Reviews
- Svetlana (7/5): - Расположение, в центре города, очень удобно. Рядом остановка транспорта. Очень шумная квартира, окна и ставни не защищают от шума, даже беруши не помогали. Не было кухни, это для меня оказалось сюрпризом, может я не увидела при бронировании это, но это очень не удобно. Правда была кофемашина и капсулы, было чисто, есть небольшой холодильник и электрический чайник.
Можно было бы добавить кружки для чая, раз пакетики чая были.
Из душевой кабины вода вытекает между стеклом и стеной, нет изоляции, при использовании весь пол в воде.
- Shiva (6/5): -
- Valentina (8/5): weekend piacevole a firenze - la posizione, lo staff e la pulizia l’unica pecca gli scalini per salire al terzo piano e il rumore che si sentiva di notte dalla strada, essendo in centro
- Andrea (10/5): - Ottima la posizione La pulizia dei bagni
- Oksana (8/5): Clean and quiet - Clean Complicated connection to WiFi
- Conde (10/5): Eu super amei! Tudo muito limpo e moderno - No coração de Florença As escadas são cruéis , o banheiro fica do lado de fora
- Zapirain (7/5): Muy buen lugar pero cosas a considerar. - La habitación era amplia, cómoda, y limpia, además nos dejaron guardar las valijas en un locker después del check out. La ubicación también era buena. La entrada no era lo mejor y también eran varios pisos a subir en escalera con las valijas. En la noche era muy ruidoso ya que entraba gritos y música de la calle. También que había muchos mosquitos.
- Paluan (9/5): La posizione è ottima e la camera spaziosa con arredo moderno - La posizione principalmente Scale non comodissime per raggiungere la stanza
- Vanessa (5/5): - A localização é boa e perto do centro, apesar disso causar muito barulho a noite. Muito barulho da rua. O acesso é por muitas escadas que tem cheiro ruim provindo de outros apartamentos. Banheiro com cheiro de sujeira. Colchão e travesseiros ruins.
- JULIANA AYLEN (10/5): - Excelente ubicación
- Melissa (10/5): - Ottima posizione e personale gentilissimo e disponibile
- Milena (10/5): Ottima posizione e gentilezza. Il proprietario è stato molto disponibile su ogni aspetto e ci ha permesso di lasciare le - Posizione centralissimo e prioritario molto gentile Scale strette e senza ascensore ma situato in un palazzo storico quindi ci sta
- Giulia (10/5): top - la posizione era centralissima
- Francesca (8/5): Piacevole weekend a Firenze - La posizione è ottimale per visitare tutto il centro a piedi. Davvero il cuore di Firenze. Il B&B è al 3o piano da raggiungere con scale molto faticose.
- Cristian (9/5): -
- Francesco (10/5): Un soggiorno comodo, caldo e senza pensieri - Locale davvero molto apprezzabile sotto ogni punto di vista. La posizione è comoda e strategica, ideale per spostarsi facilmente e godersi la zona.
Gli ambienti sono ben riscaldati, accoglienti e confortevoli, perfetti anche nei periodi più freddi. La pulizia è impeccabile e curata nei dettagli, cosa che fa davvero la differenza. Ottimo anche il contatto con il gestore: sempre disponibile, gentile e chiaro nelle comunicazioni.
Esperienza molto positiva, assolutamente consigliato.
- davide (5/5): Manca Pulizia - La posizione è eccezionale. In pieno centro a Firenze. Il personale è stato gentile a permetterci di lasciare i bagagli per qualche ora in più rispetto all'orario del check out. In primo luogo la pulizia. Avevo la camera Superior. La camera era sporca, per non dire sudicia. Piena di polvere. Ho trovato alcune macchie anche sulla coperta. In generale manca il senso dell'igiene. Il bagno è maleodorante e la carta igienica fornita era a mio avviso piena di polvere anche se mi è stato detto che quello era il colore naturale. Asciugamani, carta igienica e altri materiali di scorta sono tenuti in un piccolo armadietto in condizioni fatiscenti. La camera si trova inoltre al terzo piano e non c'è l'ascensore. Ultima nota dolente la televisione non funzionava credo molto probabilmente perché il telecomando aveva le pile scariche e per sostituire le pile era necessario un cacciavite. Ho chiesto assistenza ma nessuno è venuto a risolvere il problema. Stesso problema del telecomando poco funzionante anche per il condizionatore che però alla fine si accende e riscalda, anche se ci mette del tempo e funziona poco. Inoltre anche il condizionatore è internamente pieno di polvere e sporco. Non c'è un armadietto per i vestiti, ma viene data una specie di appendi abiti scoperto.Attenzione che Il bagno della camera superior è esterno alla camera e per accedervi bisogna attraversare una zona in comune. Un'ultima cosa che non mi è piaciuta ma non è tanto un disservizio quanto una ragione di sicurezza che non condivido. Per accedere alla struttura ti vengono dati dei codici per entrare. Il problema è che anche per la tua camera devi inserire dei codici e non ti danno alcuna chiave. Quindi in teoria un malintenzionato (magari qualcuno che ha soggiornato qualche giorno prima)potrebbe entrare conoscendo i codici e non credo sia sicuro (a meno che non cambino i codici ad ogni ospite).
- Libi (3/5): - Location The place couldn't accomodate the number of people confirmed in reservation. They left us without blankets and didn't even keep the heat during the night. There's no control over the heating! Only remotely by the owner.
The owner is living in south Italy, isn't familiar with the area and couldn't assist with the arrival instructions and more. Wasn't very responsive and didn't care much about the guests at home.
- Rosy (3/5): Ottima posizione ma struttura inadeguata ad essere affittata. - La posizione rispetto al centro della città B&b fatiscente, doccia con un’anta mancante, mattonelle intorno al lavandino assenti e quelle che c’erano erano sporche, polvere sparsa per la casa e zanzare giganti per la casa, di cui alcune morte attaccate ancora al muro.
- Magdalena (6/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - Struttura pulita e acccogliente . Ottima posizione
- Tommaso (10/5): -
- Gonzalo (10/5): Hermoso departamento y ubicación. - La.habitacion es grande y la cama muy cómoda. Todo es moderno y esta muy limpio. Hay una maquina de café de cápsulas con 2 de cortesía.
El baño también muy amplio y limpio Estuvo todo muy bien. Solo que el baño privado esta fuera de la habitación.
Y tener en cuenta que si venis con valijas muy pesadas hay que subir 3 pisos por escalera.
Otra cosa a tener en cuenta es que esta ubicado en una zona con mucha actividad nocturna. A veces en la madrugada se escucha algo de música o borrachines gritando 🤣
- Fondello (10/5): - Limpieza, seguridad, comodidad! Y céntrico
- Egisto (6/5): ANDATO TUTTO BENE CI SI ASPETTAVA UN ALLOGGIO PIU' CONFORTEVOLE. - POSIZIONE CENTRALE OTTIMA PER GLI SPOSTAMENTI. STAFF GENTILE E PRESENTE ANCHE SE DA REMORO. APPREZZATO E VELOCE IL CHECK IN E OUT AUTOMATIZZATO CON PASSWORD. GRADITA LA POSSIBILITA' DI AVER POTUTO LASCIARE I BAGAGLI DOPO AVER LASCIATO LA STANZA. TRE PIANI DI SCALE RAPIDE E STRETTE NON BEN PULITE. FINESTRE NON INSONORIZZATE QUINDI RUMORE DAI LOCALI SOTTOSTANTI MOLTO FREQUENTATI. MATERASSO SCOMODO SENZA DOPPIO CUSCINO.
- Alex (4/5): - When we arrived the room had not been cleaned; the sheets and towels had not been changed, the trash had not been thrown out and the cups were dirty and used. We had to wait for over an hour for someone to come and clean, which was extremely disappointing considering we arrived well past check-in/check-out time and were exhausted from traveling all day. They did not provide blankets, only a sheet. Finally, the shower was literally falling off the hinges and it was a hassle getting in and out of the shower, there was also nowhere to put any shower products. The best part about this place is the location, but overall it was not a very comfortable stay.

- Vianello (6/5): -
- Mohammed (6/5): Beautiful - Location very good and its clean the staff is helpful
And the girl that welcom to you its very kind There are not elivator and we r booking in the four floor and having 4 big bags
- Sofía (8/5): -
- Saccoccio (9/5): Ottimo punto di appoggio per godersi il centro di Firenze - Posizione centrale e facile check in automatizzato
- Keielle (7/5): Basterebbe un po' di impegno per fare meglio ed essere in linea col prezzo. - Ottima la posizione, il materasso morbido e le tre finestre che facevano entrare luce, perfette le zanzariere. Una porta della doccia era rotta, mi aspetto che i gestori prima di un nuovo check-in la facciano sistemare, non che "va benissimo". Erano presenti una macchina del caffè senza capsule e un bollitore senza tisane. Si chiama Bed&breakfast, ma chissà perché il minimo necessario per fornire un breakfast non viene incluso nel prezzo. Serve più attenzione.
- Amanda (7/5): Soggiorno piacevole, posizione ottima,utile la macchinetta del caffè e il bollitore in camera. Un po’ meno comodo il ter - Posizione Terzo piano senza ascensore
- Greta (8/5): -
- Bridget (9/5): A great place, quiet and comfy! The owners were very helpful and responsive. We definitely recommend -
- Jay (5/5): Great location. - The location of the property is perfect for a couple days of seeing the best sights. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The keypad security system removes the worry of misplacing keys which helps make things easier. The bathroom lock did not work which can be quite alarming when you don’t know who else is staying within the property. The lack of cleanliness in the bathroom is worrying, the sink is also held up by paint pots.
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (7/5): This is a property with an excellent central location. The staff were very quick to respond to any questions. The room n - The location was excellent. The staff very responsive. Comfy large bed. Some cheap shabby furniture. Noisy at night.
- Adam (9/5): Superb -
- Greta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arianna (9/5): Superb -
- Wilfredo (10/5): Exceptional - Good location. It's up 3 flights of narrow stairs.
- Sarah (9/5): Superb - The location is really good! You can reach the main monuments and museums easily.
The hosts are really kind and easy to reach by phone/whatsapp. Smooth communication.
- Carrie (6/5): Perfect location & communication but damp - The location is perfect. Travelers with a lot of luggage should mind the stairs but it really is a good neighborhood. The communication via WhatsApp with the manager/owner was very good & I appreciated that I was able to leave my luggage a little early. Unfortunately, there were signs of damp/mold in the common area and bathroom. A sign on the door would be helpful to remind all guests not to deadbolt it as I had a close call.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Our stay was great! One of the best stays of my trip - The location was great, the bed was comfy, there was a vending machine if needed, coffee in the room
- Hailun (9/5): Good location - Location is really good. I can walk to a lot of spots. Pillows and mattress really comfortable. Hosts are nice and efficient I've seen former comments mentioning noise and mosquitoes, and they are true. It is really noisy at night, half because the window is not sound-proof, and half because there are lots of talking on the streets(maybe there is a bar). And I killed 3 mosquitoes in the room.
- Seyed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deyanira (7/5): Good -
- Stephanie (6/5): Great base, if you are travelling with a group to explore this wonderful city for a few days. - The room was bigger than expected. We had the deluxe room and this included a lounge space and sofa bed.
The location of the property was good for exploring the city.
The air conditioning was wonderful.
We had fridge space to chill our water.
The host was very friendly (via WhatsApp) and always responsive to answer questions etc.
We met friends here so the communal area was shared with people we knew. This was only a two apartment flat with a shared living area, it would be best to book with someone else so you are sharing the flat with people you know ( which is what we did).
It is called a B&B so we thought breakfast was included but it wasn’t and there was not facilities on site to provide breakfast.
There are a lot of stairs to get up to this property, this was fine for us but others may not find it accessible.
- Jennifer (10/5): - This is a great place to stay in Florence. It is easily walkable to all the major sites and great food. It is more of a classic room rental than a guesthouse, including self check-in and a lot of stairs. Breakfast is not included but there are great breakfast places steps away. The neighborhood is lively at night. I mention these things, because if you know what to expect, you will know if this is the right place for you. The owner was very responsive via text and clearly wanted to help us have an enjoyable visit.
- Stefania (2/5): Very central location but not at all the standard that is advertised by the host. - Great location but very poor experience overall. The b&b is located on the third floor with no elevators but each floor is up two pairs of very narrow and steep staircases so it is effectively a sixth floor.
The room was stinky and so was the separate bathroom. The b&b only has two rooms one “superior” and one “deluxe”, with the superior having an external bathroom that is not at all “superior” in any way. The host put up a lot of issues to issue an invoice and I had to call an infinite amount of time to get a paper summarising the amount I paid that I could use for work purposes. They do not offer extra cleanings nor extra towel services. The communal area is endowed of a very noisy vending machine that kept me awake at night. The general furnishing was very very cheap and basic - especially in the bathroom. Cleaning was unsatisfactory. The room was not at all up to the “superior” standard advertised. The external bathroom was smelly and not very clean and so was the room. The host created a lot of problems when asked to provide a proper invoice.
- Lisa (10/5): - The apartment was clean and nice. Very easy check in and response time. Stairs were rough with luggage for the baby and my mom. Still ideal great location.
- Joyce (2/5): HORRIBLE!!!! - When we got to the address there was no one to help us. There was no key in the lockbox (which was broken). Tried to phone the person but he just kept saying he didn’t speak English and then he blocked our calls. We ended up stranded after we had already paid ahead of time. Workers from a restaurant helped us with WiFi and we ended up at another hotel. Double our budget. DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!
- Michael (7/5): A Great little B&B for the night - The location is within walking distance to all the museums and the center of town. The bed was comfortable and the view out the window was beautiful. The room was a bit noisy at night due to being near a bar.
- Allison (8/5): - Great B&B. More of a "bed" and breakfast isn't included. The facility was just what we needed. The facility was right in the middle of a busy area. It still felt quiet at night, but bring ear plugs if youre a light sleeper or not familiar with the city.
The only thing that felt like our critique was we never met the hosts and only communicated virtually. This caused some bumps when we traveled and we missed meeting locals.
- Handta (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (4/5): Noisy Location - Best part of our stay was location, always had hot water and bed had comfortable mattress. Loud - could hear people yelling, talking and cars all night until 5 am ish during our Friday and Saturday night stay. Sound cancelling headsets came in handy to sleep. The walk up is 55 steps to the third floor. No breakfast included in the B&B name. There is a coffee machine in the room.
- Valeria (10/5): Super cool - Apartment owners were online 24/7, so if something happens, you can get help immediately. Location is perfect, apartment is perfect. It can be a bit cold for someone who doesn’t live in Europe but that’s okay. Everything was clean and comfy. -
- Vasiliki (8/5): Very good -
- Dmitry (9/5): Simply the best value for the money - Location was the best
It's in the middle of it all, you wake up and you're in the action! Everything is close, any you road you choose to go, you'll find something historical after few minutes of walking..
Host answer any request in no time
There are only two rooms for rent and a hall in this apartments, we slept in Superior room under door with code lock, same goes for the bathroom (which is GREAT, always hot water and HUGE shower place)
Mattress is great
Worth the money Stairs, this is the only unattractive thing related to this apartments.. If you are elderly or have a big suitcase, it might apset you,, 50 stairs up, beside it, it was great..
