Guest Reviews
- Munne (10/5): -
- Ian (3/5): -
- giacomo (1/5): Invivibile…… - Non esiste organizzazione……..
- Carmine (7/5): - Centrale Basta poco per renderla più accogliente. Per iniziare una bella pitturata
- elisa (9/5): - Ottima posizione rispetto alle principali attrazioni. La struttura si trova sulla strada e dunque esposta a ogni genere di rumore
- Carmine (7/5): - Posto centrale Si potrebbe fare qualche lavoretto di muratura
- Michelle (1/5): nahezu alles kaputt, schmutzig und unheimlich laut - keine Rückmeldung der Unterkunft! - Leider nichts. Das Zimmer war in einem sehr sehr schlechten Zustand - die Wände sind komplett kaputt, genauso wie die Möbel - es war wie auf einer Baustelle! Es ist war nicht sauber und unheimlich laut! Ich bin sofort wieder abgereist und warte nach wie vor (seit 5 Tagen) auf die Rückmeldung von Booking und Rückerstattung der Unterkunft. Ich habe es sofort gemeldet und bislang keine Antwort erhalten.
Ich finde es absolut nicht in Ordnung so eine Unterkunft anzubieten.
- Jasmine (8/5): -
- Ewa (3/5): - Brak widoku na zewnątrz, ze względu na matowe szyby. Wejście do pokoju z ulicy , wilgoć i smrud. Brak ciepłej wody. Brudno w łazience, odpadający tynk w aneksie kuchennym. Obdarte łóżko oraz brak możliwości włączenia klimatyzacji ze względu na zapleśniały filtr. Nie ma możliwości otworzenia okna, aby przewietrzyć. Pleśń w kątach pokoju.
- Nika (1/5): Shame on you! - The location in the center of the city in the meaning that you don’t need transport Overall Rating: 1/10 – Extremely Disappointing Experience
Cleanliness: 1/10
The apartment was in unacceptable condition. There were no drinking glasses at all. Above the bed, we found smashed mosquitoes and dried blood stains on the wall. The iron had a sticky, burnt residue that ruined our clothing. Due to constant humidity and lack of air circulation, even towels wouldn’t dry after a full day—and nylon tights took over 48 hours. We had to reuse damp towels, and no additional ones were available, not even for purchase.
Communication: 1/10
After we checked in, the hosts were completely unresponsive. We reached out via WhatsApp, Booking messages, and by phone—no response. Our refrigerator didn’t work, and despite multiple requests for help, we never received any guidance, resulting in all our food and medication going bad. The only communication we received were repeated and aggressive reminders about our exact check-in and check-out times—though we had confirmed both during the booking process.
Wi-Fi/Internet: 1/10
The apartment advertised Wi-Fi, but it simply did not work at all. The “Wi-Fi information” was nothing more than a decorative sticker on the door. There was no actual internet access available during our stay.
Location: 2/10
Although centrally located, the apartment entrance is directly beside a loud, high-traffic road. The bedroom is separated from the street by a poorly insulated wall. Noise from garbage trucks, ambulances, revving motorcycles, and delivery vans made it impossible to sleep—even with earplugs. This apartment is absolutely unsuitable for light sleepers or anyone needing rest.
Comfort: 1/10
The combination of noise, poor air quality, and humidity made our stay uncomfortable. Opening windows or the door let in vehicle exhaust, so we had to sleep in a space filled with stale, humid air. With no working fridge oand no support from the hosts, we felt abandoned.
- Madisyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mujiri (3/5): Poor -
- Veljko (10/5): Exceptional - I really recommend this apartment
- Location is great. It's 5 min walk to Piti Palace and Boboli park and 10 min to the city center
- In the apartment there is everything you need, you can prepare food in the kitchen, use washing machine, heating is good
- Bed is large and comfortable
- Check-in was easy, host sent everything with pictures It's hard to say anything because we really liked and enjoyed our stay. If we really need to find something that would be noice from the street because apartment is right on the street but even that was not something important to us and didn't bother us too much.
- Çollaku (1/5): Bad -
- Ranjbar (8/5): Very good -
- Sanna (7/5): Good -
- Juan (8/5): Very good -
- Eva (7/5): Good - It was quite close to center , we could get there by walk. Very good price for this location. I didn´t like smell in the apartament and it was little bit noisy, next the street.
- Un_sorin (4/5): Disappointing -
- Ania (3/5): NOT what we expected at all sadly - The location was excellent. This is the only redeeming point about this place.
It was in easy walking distance of the Central area across the river.
We had a patisserie 2 doors away and a Carrefour Express 2 mins walk the other way. The management company were responsive and sorted out some of our issues. So much was WRONG at this place, as follows.
1 - We were shocked to find we were on the ground floor with a main one-way road 3 ft from the front door and bedroom window. This was NOT mentioned anywhere in the listing and should have been. The traffic and noise was just too loud for us. All the glass is opaque as it's ground floor so much less natural light.
2 - We walked into a smell of DAMP and MOLD. This is really bad for people's health. Every day we came back and this is what we could smell each time. There's rising damp around the front door and other areas. I took photos.
3 - We were soooo cold in bed on our first night. We couldn't get the aircon unit to heat up. NO INSTRUCTIONS were left in English or any language. Once the maintenance man came out and sorted it out, we were much warmer. Because it's damp and darker than usual, it was colder in this studio than expected.
4 - No one told us where the extra bedding was until we complained. It was inside the bed, under the mattress that could be lifted up.
5 - The memory foam mattress was way too soft and had no mattress protector on it. YUK. Imagine the body fluids that get left behind ...
6 - There was not enough cutlery, plates,and glasses for 2 people. Only a bit here and there.
7 - No instructions for the boiler so we had no shower as no hot water after the first evening until we figured out how to switch it on and keep it on.
8 - The WiFi router was right BY THE BED. This also helped to keep us awake.
9 - It could have been cleaner as hairs and fluff came out of hiding whilst we were there. And no, these were not ours.
10 - We basically had such crappy and interrupted sleep for 4 nights, we we knackered by the time we left. And this was our 25th Wedding Anniversary trip. Some trip.
If ALL these items above are sorted out, then it would be a good place for people to stay who don't mind traffic and noise and little light etc.
