Guest Reviews
- Joselyn (8/5): - Location and it’s clean The stairs because our luggage was so heavy
- Michał (6/5): Lokalizacja genialna, ale sam budynek i obiekt z niedociągnięciami - Obiekt znajduje się w świetnej lokalizacji. Kamienica jest wewnątrz zaniedbana. Na wejściu leżą martwe karaluchy. Wejścia broni obskurna stalowa krata z dodatkowym zamkiem. Drzwi do apartamentu otwierają się z trudem - trzeba dużo wyczucia żeby je otworzyć - znać trick kiedy pchnąć a kiedy pociągnąć żeby dostać się do środka. Klimatyzator średnio dawał radę przy 30 stopniach na zewnątrz. Łazienka chociaż duża to nie ma gdzie w niej odłożyć rzeczy, przynieśliśmy krzesła z kuchni żeby zrobić jakiekolwiek miejsce.
- betiana (10/5): - Excelente ubicación. Muy cómodo.

- Laura (1/5): Picaduras de chinches - Me alojé en este hotel recientemente y, aunque durante la estancia vi varios bichos en la habitación, no pensé que se tratara de chinches en ese momento. Fue al volver a España cuando me empezaron a salir numerosas picaduras por todo el cuerpo, y tras consultarlo con el médico, efectivamente se trataba de picaduras de chinches.
Ademas casualmente, el día que me iba, vimos a una persona fumigando el edificio.
Me puse en contacto con el hotel para informarles de lo sucedido y expresar mi preocupación, pero no obtuve ninguna solución ni muestra de responsabilidad por su parte. Me parece gravísimo que un establecimiento de este tipo no garantice unas condiciones mínimas de higiene ni se tome en serio algo tan delicado como una plaga de chinches.
No volvería ni lo recomendaría. Esta experiencia me ha generado una gran incomodidad física y mucha frustración por la falta de atención y respuesta del hotel.
- Tomasz (9/5): Pobyt w tym miejscu będę wspominać bardzo miło. - Świetna lokalizacja. Wszystkie atrakcje na wyciągnięcie ręki, a raczej nóg, bo wszędzie bez problemu można udać się pieszo. Pełno niezłych restauracji w pobliżu. Bardzo obszerny i czysty apartament. Podróżowałem w pojedynkę, ale miejsca wystarczy także dla pary, a i jakieś dziecko też się zmieści bez problemu. Wygodne duże łóżko. Obszerna i bardzo czysta łazienka. Odrębne salon i sypialnia. Dwa telewizory do dyspozycji. Dostępne podstawowe wyposażenie kuchni. Bardzo dużo szafek. Ogólnie wystrój apartamentu jest bardzo przyjemny.
- Nikki (7/5): Big, bright, clean. - Really big space, clean and tidy. Ideal location.
Had everything we needed. It is up multiple flights of dark stairs so I wouldn’t recommend if you have a disability.
- Chrystalla (1/5): Absolutely NOT recommended. - Horrible Stay – This Property Should Be Removed from Booking.com
I booked this place based on the photos and description on Booking.com, but when I arrived, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Nothing matched the photos – what was shown as a cozy, clean apartment turned out to be a dark, damp, and borderline unlivable space.
The shower didn’t work properly – water was leaking and spraying everywhere, and it was barely usable. The bathroom floor was constantly soaked, and there was water damage and visible humidity on the walls, especially near the floor. It smelled like mold and rot.
The hallways looked like an abandoned building, dark, dirty, and extremely unpleasant. Walking through them felt like being in a dungeon from ancient times, not a modern accommodation in Florence. The exterior of the property was equally disturbing – not at all what was advertised.
Honestly, I’m shocked this place is even listed on Booking.com. It’s misleading, unhygienic, and completely unacceptable. I didn’t feel safe or comfortable for a single moment during my stay.
I strongly urge Booking.com to inspect this property and consider removing it from the platform. No traveler should have to go through this kind of experience.
- Christoph (6/5): -
- AL CROUZET (1/5): Tres mal accueilli puis surpris du décalage entre photo annonce et realité et enfin punaises de lit - L emplacement mais rien d autres Les punaises de lit, le bruit, l acces a l appartement pas une grille, la salle de bain avec une oaroi de douche cassée, un filet d eau….
- Lisandro (7/5): Buen lugar, recomendable - El departamento es agradable y la ubicación muy buena Le faltaría contar con alguna Bacha dónde limpiar los elementos de cocina y la cama estaba rota y tuvimos que repararla.. además, las cerraduras son un poco complicadas
- ANA PRISCILLA (6/5): - Bem localizado, equipe solícita que resolveu nosso problema assim que entrei em contato, apartamento claro e bem equipado Tivemos problemas com pecevejos e precisamos ser remanejadas no meio da nossa estadia... ainda bem que a equipe Pégaso nos realocou com rapidez, mas foram uns bons 25 euros de lavanderia
- Aristeidis (8/5): -
- Alfredo (7/5): satisfactoria - Tuvimos problema al ingresar al departamento ya que no me enviaron a tiempo la información, y cuando me la enviaron el código de ingreso estaba incorrecto, perdimos mucho tiempo con el ingreso Falta aire acondicionado en la habitación del sofá cama. no funciona la lavadora de ropa. Falta velador y lampara para el sofacama, no proveen jabón si no únicamente shampo
- Eva (10/5): -
- Sandor Krisztian (10/5): -
- Emanuele (4/5): - Pochi minuti prima che arrivassimo in struttura ci chiama una delle responsabili dicendo che non era più disponibile la struttura perché era occupata da un’altra famiglia e che ci davano una struttura posta in via Maggio numero 43 che doveva essere superiore essendo anche posizionata vicino a palazzo Pitti. Siamo stati costretti ad accettare oramai avevamo pagato ed erano le 22 stavamo sotto ad un temporale estivo, inoltre la responsabile incolpava Booking per avermi fatto prenotare. Quando arriviamo 4 piano sotto tetto, casa molto rustica e macraba con arredamenti anni 50/60, tremava al passaggio di mezzi , non insonorizzata, bagno adatto a persone basse e magre, non adatto a disabili. Camere vissute forse da persone non più viventi, non possibilità di sedersi in bagno in quanto le gambe toccano il lavabo
- Koki (2/5): - There were bed bugs.
- Victor (6/5): - Очень удобное расположение: исторический центр и, при этом, возле вокзала. Просторные комнаты, есть кондиционер Третий этаж в доме без лифта, с большим багажом не очень удобно.
Кровать с клопами, при этом были видны пятна на стенах от раздавленных предыдущими постояльцами клопов. На постельном белье въевшиеся пятна от крови, после клопов.
- Simone (1/5): SGRADEVOLE ESPERIENZA - Siamo stati spostati in un’appartamento molto più lontano e attraversare il centro con valigie grandi non è stato gradevole
- Ursula (9/5): -
- Valeria (4/5): - The apartment is in a good location, within walking distance to the main attractions. We were very disappointed to find bedbugs during our stay. This issue affected our comfort and ability to sleep at the property.
- Xiaolin (6/5): Pleasant -
- Anonymous (2/5): Very poor - Keys were very secure. Where to begin—bed bugs, poor communication, or the host’s refusal to offer a full refund?
We arrived in Florence during a heat wave, excited to settle in—but from the moment we stepped into the building, the problems began. My group and I spent over an hour trying to access the apartment key from a lockbox, only to learn (after finally getting the host on the phone) that they had given us the wrong password and the wrong apartment number. You’d think something as basic as that would be double-checked.
Once we finally found the correct unit, we struggled with unlocking the door using a handful of keys—none of which came with clear instructions. It took even more time and guesswork to get inside.
But the real nightmare began the next morning. We woke up to discover blood stains and a full-on infestation of bed bugs on the pull-out couch. Imagine the feeling of finding a spider in your bed—then multiply that by a dozen and add visible bites. That’s how we felt for days. It was disgusting, disturbing, and completely unacceptable.
The infestation forced us to cut our trip short. We had to return home early to seek medical attention, deep-clean our belongings, and sanitize ourselves to avoid spreading the infestation into our own homes.
When we contacted the host and provided photo evidence of the blood and bugs, they offered us a 30% refund. Yes, you read that right—30% for a literal health hazard. When we requested a full refund, they stopped responding altogether. Even worse, when booking.com reached out on our behalf, the host denied everything.
Bottom line: Unless you’re willing to get intimate with bed bugs or spend the better part of your trip trying to get in contact with the host, this isn’t the place for you. DO NOT STAY HERE. Save yourself the stress, the bites, and the disappointment.
- Kushan (8/5): Value for money - The owner has sent us an email with all the details. It helped us to easy access for the property. There doesn’t seem to be a cooking hob or hot plate available. It would be great if one could be provided.
- Florence (6/5): Pleasant -
- Pankaj (7/5): It was a good brief stay! - Location is close to railway station and walkable. Room size is Good with most of the amenities and adequately cleaned. There is no lift and its was tough to carry bags to 2nd floor with not so comfortable design of stairs. Staircase lighting is also not automated and it was scary at first time.
- Valentina (9/5): Superb - The location the commodity
- Anna (9/5): Superb -
- Joe (8/5): Great location and spacious - Good location and some basic cooking equipment. Lots of towels and toiletries. Spacious and good bed space All that it needed was some basic cleaning equipment like brush and pan but host asked me what they think they should improve on so I believe they will do this
- Ledio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dj (3/5): very old building with a stinky smell and steep climb of stairs with huge luggage. - location staircase, when we arrived the location they made us fill online check in with docs after which the passcode for keys were shared virtually our family with lugggage were standing on the narrow street.
- Bowman (10/5): Great quality for the price - A very open and spacious room, with high ceilings and large windows to let in plenty of natural light and fresh air if wanted. Everything was clean and tidy with amenities readily available , as well as a conveniently close coin laundromat just a few doors down the street. With the location being close to many restraunts and a few bars , there will be some street noise sometimes until 1am. As long as the windows and shutters are closed it isn't too bad. It would be difficult to find a room in the area that doesnt have any street noise. It's just a part of the experience in staying in a property in the city.
- Anastasia (8/5): Very good - The location was perfect, it was a value for money choice, the rooms were very good. It was quite hard to enter the apartment every time. The lock at the door of the apartment was hard to open and it took some effort each time.
- Antea-helena (8/5): Very good - The apartment was very spacious and really beautiful. You’re right in the city center and every attraction was in a walkable distance. It is very loud. Be sure to hear the neighbors next door like they’re in a room with you. It didn’t bother us because they were quit at night
- Max (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alireza (9/5): Superb -
- Alessia (7/5): 7/10 - The stairs in the inside were a bit dangerous and the second door where i remained outside for an hour because the key does not open that one so i waited until the neighbor opened the door on her way out
- Björn (7/5): Good - Streetnoise, hard to sleep
- Francisco (10/5): Exceptional -
- Russell (8/5): Yes it was loud at times, but Good location and nice apartment. - Location, clean, had most everything I needed. I knew it was loud so it is what it is. Needs a video to show how to enter and leave the apartment. Needs shelving in bathroom and more trashcans.
- Tania (9/5): Great! Thank you - Difficult to find the location
Numbers were misleading
Nobody to greet us and assist in person
- Shelly (8/5): Very good -
- Emanuele (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grecia (1/5): Would not recomend and would never stay here again. - Location Building is very dirty. The whole building smells like Asian food.
The apartment in general was not cleaned. Not to mentioned the kitchen, never used it.
Lights and refrigerator didn’t work.
Luckily the bedroom was bright and had cleaned linen.
The property managers have along way to learn about customer service. Terrible customer service.
- Nadiia (7/5): Good - the apartment was clean and bright, everything was as per the photo. Great location in the very center. Wi-Fi didn't work at all. My mobile internet didn't work either, I was without connection for almost a day. The entrance to the house was very old and dirty, my children were afraid to go in there. And the worst thing is that there is a bar or something like that under the windows, it was impossible to sleep because of the very loud noise of people from the street, even with the windows closed. If you are very sensitive to noise, keep this in mind.
- Abdelrahman (7/5): Good -
- Patryk (10/5): Exceptional - Clean room , very good communication with host , near to shops bars restaurants I would recommend this accommodation Non
- Jemma (8/5): Very good -
- Mauro (8/5): Excellent location to access the greatest interesting sites in Florence. - The location is amazing, and practically gives you access to every site of interest by walking no longer than 10 min. The sound isolation is not the greatest.
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amit (3/5): Poor - The location High stairs
No personal contact
No electric kettle
No microwave
Lots of locks
- Patel (7/5): Good -
- Jonathan (3/5): Close your eyes until you’re in your actual bedroom .. it won’t seem as scary!!! - The main room was relatively clean! As was the bedding! The access area (stairs and shared space) and bathroom/kitchen were of very poor standard and a little bit creepy if we’re honest!!
- Shradha (8/5): Very good -
- Francesco (7/5): Good - Very great location and good communication with the host. Good quality/price We have asked for 4 beds, the sofa bed was without blanket and sheets but eventually we managed and the rest was simple and good
- L (5/5): Close to SMN station but is inside a scary building - Close to Santa Maria Novella station. Outside:
Located in an old building (my mother says it is "dilapidated"). It was not easy to find since the name of the accommodation was not labeled on the door buzzers of the building.
Lobby:
Dark; had to use mobile torch at first. There is no lift so it is difficult to access with heavy luggages.
Had to climb at least 3 flights of stairs to get to the apartment.
Upon finding the room, it was hard to open the door with the keys. Had to message the host for assistance through Whatsapp.
Bathroom:
The handheld shower has very weak water pressure.
The toilet bowl was not clean and had brown rings in the upper ream.
No shower caddy and hooks so nowhere to put your shampoo, soap, toiletries, towel, etc. while bathing.
Rooms:
There are cabinets but unusable since they were padlocked and the old one that could be opened had no hangers.
We had to go up a flight of stairs to access the sofa bed and kitchen/dining area. Said stairs are not reflected in the host's photos.
Can hear the noise of the guests from the other room since only a door separates the two rooms.
- Mostafa (7/5): Good - Good location, and easy access to the city, shopping centers and restaurants The bathroom faucet was broken and one of the heaters was not working properly
- Bencivenga (9/5): Superb -
