Guest Reviews

• Qeto (10/5): -
• Grzegorz (6/5): dobra lokalizacja ale dość głośno w nocy - Dobra lokalizacja. Ładny pokój dzienny. Czysto. Brak mikrofalówki widocznej na zdjęciach obiektu, Brak wystarczającej ilości płynów do kąpieli oraz szamponów. Zostawiono nam po jednej jednorazowej szaszetce na 4 dni! Bardzo duży hałas uciążliwy w nocy.
• Elisa (9/5): -
• Alison (8/5): Overall quite nice - Lovely rooftop terrace. Cozy. The apartment was nice in the spring but is probably hot in summer. Excellent oltrarno location. There are a lot of stairs to reach the top. There was some trouble with the hot water.
• Isabel (1/5): No vale ni el tercio de lo que piden - Nada Relación calidad precio para lo que ofrece pésima Muy ruidosa, calle con muchísimo tránsito y las ventanas no cierran bien. No hay artículos de baño, solo 2 sobres de gel. Las toallas desgastadas, muchísimo polvo, el sofá se hunde y el colchón también El cheking hay q mandar foto del dni y foto de la cara sosteniendo el DNI
• Pau (6/5): -
• Rihab (3/5): Bad experience for me - The location is great, accessing the building was also smooth Not clean, we were three and the bed in the leaving room was catastrophic ! dirty and not comfortable at all, the place is also so noice (0 noise cancelling windows and building) It was not pleasant at all, I don’t recommend it for more than 2 people (a couple for at least the quality of the bed but noise is huge problem to consider as well)
• fabia (8/5): Mansarda deliziosa, calda e accogliente, arredata con semplicita e buon gusto -
• Odalis (7/5): - Il letto si muove, secondo me la spalliera del letto non è fissata.
• Karolin (7/5): - Position was great, close to everything. good size apartment. Easy and smooth check-in and out. Very noisy street at nighttime (both lots of car/scooter traffic and people enjoying their night out😊). Could not get the washingmachine to start. Shower drain not working correctly, causing wateroverflows on the floor in the bathroom quite fast.
• Annalisa (4/5): - Posizione buona, servizio check.in online buono, personale vikey molto gentile e disponibile, impossibile contattare telefonicamente la struttura cosa assolutamente non buona non ho trovato purtoppo il lenzuolo sotto del letto matrimoniale, c era un misero coprimaterasso e mi è stato impossibile comunicare con la struttura per risolvere la cosa. Anche la pulizia non era delle migliori. Non ripeterei l' esperienza
• Huwyler (7/5): Appartement de style en trompe œil - L'emplacement dans un quartier vivant de Florence. Vue agréable et présence d'une terrasse. Organisation à distance sans faille. Installation intérieure fonctionnelle, mais bien vétusté. La lumière dijonctait tous les jours et pas de torchon pour sécher la vaisselle,... Vitres qui ne ferment plus, infiltration d'eau dans la salle de bain, assez bruyant (bruit par les autres logements et par la rue). Canapé lit avec vécu.
• Patrycja (7/5): -
• loogle81 (3/5): - I'm sure the place is great and in a wonderful location, that's why I booked it in the first place. It's just sad that despite an unexpected death in my family and a subsequent change in my trip, the owners weren't willing to accommodate us in any way. I guess they value money over empathy.
• Maria Eduarda (7/5): -
• Olivia (7/5): - La ubicacion es un 10! Tambien es muy amplio con una cocina y comedor super equipados ademas de la habitacion y el baño La cama era bastante incomoda, y el piso vibraba cuando pasaban autos
• Claudia (6/5): Insomma, da migliorare - Posizione ed estetica appartamento. Poca pulizia, cattivo odore in bagno e pochissima illuminazione. Infissi pessimi che non tengono alcun rumore, pareva di essere in strada a dormire. Non vale il prezzo pagato.
• Massimiliano (9/5): Ottimo posto e soggiorno unica pecca il rumore notturno - Bellissimo posto , tutto perfetto Unica pecca i serramenti , si sente tutto fuori la notte ho fatto fatica a dormire peccato perché avrei dato 10 stelle
• ELEONORA (9/5): Ci vediamo presto!!! - Super. Bella Poco luminosa
• Niyapir (1/5): La ville formidable, nous avons bien aimé Florence. - rien Cette note est sévère, je reconnais. Malheureusement, le logement ne correspondait pas aux standards de confort attendus. En particulier, le matelas était de qualité médiocre, ce qui a entraîné des douleurs dorsales importantes durant tout le séjour. Ce problème a fortement impacté notre expérience et notre repos. Je tiens à souligner que, bien que les notes générales du logement soient relativement faibles (environ 6.5/10), Booking.com a mis en avant l’emplacement (noté 8.5) comme argument principal, ce qui a influencé notre choix. Cette mise en avant semble avoir masqué les autres défauts importants du logement, notamment le confort, qui est pourtant essentiel. De plus, le salon manquait totalement de confort : il n’y avait aucun meuble confortable pour s’asseoir, et la table ainsi que les chaises étaient instables et inutilisables, ce qui a rendu les repas et les moments de détente très désagréables.
• sian (8/5): -
• Maria Sol (8/5): - La ubicación La iluminación
• Iosif (10/5): -
• Chris (1/5): Bathroom flooding and bad smell - After 2-3 minutes of showerhead running, there was water pooling outside of the bathroom by the entrance. Whoever renovated the bathroom really messed up. And the floors are old and porous (old historical building), so it smelled like when you put a wet towel in a plastic bag and let it sit for a week.
• José Abel Pires (9/5): Podría ser mejor con poco - La ubicación, la ambientación. No tener alfombra al salir de la ducha, no poder cerrar los postigos del dormitorio porque están rotos ni la cortina porque el riel también está roto, en consecuencia no se pueden atemperar los ruidos de la calle ni la luz que ingresa al momento de descansar.
• Giulia (7/5): Appartamentino nel cuore di Firenze - Posizione ottima! Appartamento dal fascino antico e suggestivo, in pieno centro. La proprietaria, Costanza, gentile e disponibile. Il materasso del letto, il fatto che non ci fosse nemmeno il sapone per le mani. Un minuscolo sample (uno solo!) di shampodoccia non è sufficiente se nella descrizione è scritto che nell'appartamento si forniscono bagnodoccia, shampoo e affini.
• Говриленко (9/5): - Отличное расположение. Центр и вокзал рядом 20 минут. Красивая квартира
• Martina (5/5): - El olor
• Federico (8/5): Nel - Buona posizione, buona organizzazione, tenuta bene e pulita Un po’ di baccano la notte, illuminazione interna scarsa.
• Yosef (10/5): - Probably one of the best places I stayed in Florence. The location is great – but with the unique atmosphere this place offers, who wants to go out? Reached by steep steps, with tile roof and wooden beams overhead, a large balcony and the view and sounds of the nearby bell-tower (as well as city roofs, tree-tops and open sky) – the setting is perfect. It combines openness (Huge glass doors to the balcony and the transparent roof of the shower) with perfect privacy (there is only one balcony on the other side of the street that may have eye-contact with the place's balcony, and there was no one there most of my stay). And add to that the good functionality of the well-equipped kitchen (I cook all my meals myself), the pleasant sitting corner and the good wifi – the stay is really perfect.
• Simon (3/5): Get wrecked. - The place is very well located poorly managed. The night is very noise as you sleep at the cross section of two streets. The bed is a nightmare and hasn’t been renewed in 20 years. No airco but two fans that we eventually used to kill the noise from outside. The people managing the establishment were completely unresponsive to any clarifying question we asked.
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Roisin (9/5): Superb - Very easy experience. Lovely spot, well maintained. It was located on a very noisy street, this was a bit of an issue if you're a light sleeper.
• Nikolaos (1/5): Not clean and poorly maintained - Central location 1st. Apartment very old and not well maintained. It is expected to be old building but the apartment is in bad state. 2nd. Not clean, tones of dust 3rd. Fridge was not working, a tone of ice was blocking the flow. Very bad maintenance 4th. The shower drain was FULLY CLOCKED. Even with 1min shower, a leakage water filled the whole bathroom surface and part of the living room. WE DIDNT USE THE SHOWER AT ALL FOR THIS REASON. 5th. The owner NEVER replied to my message when I reported the shower issue. Still hasn’t replied after 5 days, even to apologise. 6th. Very poor quality for the high amount of paying. I wouldn’t stay EVER again there, not recommending it
• Salome (2/5): Poor value for money - Location was good. The apartment is very very very noisy. Do not expect to sleep in this place. The windows are super thin and don’t shut out any noise, even when closing the shutters. Cars and scooters going past in the early morning hours make loads of noise, plus there are restaurants around the apartment. You can hear people talking until very late. We had no hot water in the apartment for the first day. I tried to contact them but got no response. Eventually after sending the third message to them they finally did something and fixed it. I received no apology from them for the inconvenience. The bed is incredibly soft. Linen provided is also limited - there is one sheet on the bed and a blanket. There are also no lights in the bedroom or living room. Only lamps. Very bizarre.
• Ian (8/5): Very good -
• Thomas (1/5): Atrocious - Localisation Impossible to sleep. Very noisy due ti heavy traffic road. Vibrations on floor for every car... I asked to host where was towel by whatsapp, booking, sms. 5 days later, still no answer.
• Jayden (7/5): Good -
• Adele (7/5): Good - Location,15-20min walking to all the sightseeing spots. Authentic aesthetic. Very clean. Very noisy neighbourhood. Bed shakes and makes sounds on every turn and also when bigger cars pas by the building. Shower is confusing and has a very low water pressure. Kitchen has appliances but no coffee or even tea.
• Neal (1/5): Bad - Not much. Location was pretty good. They never returned any messages and did not answer the phone. Nothing worked there. Dirty dishes, scalding hot water. Ripped bed with brown stuff on it. Air conditioner did not work and we were unable to turn off the heat! Smoke from rooftop chimney blew into the room when we opened the windows so we were stuck in a sweat box. Even the ring on the keys was bent and it would not hold the keys. The hair dryer had the wrong plug on it so we couldn't plug it in anywhere where there was a mirror. They only gave us enough soap for one night even though we had registered for four. Clothes washer did not have soap either. I can't say enough about how terrible this place is avoided at all costs. We had to move out and stay in different place even before we knew we were going to get a refund or not. Uninhabitable!
• Aliaksei (3/5): Poor - The location of the apartment is indeed very good — close to the center and major attractions. However, the condition of the apartment was disappointing. Most of the appliances were not working: the washing machine didn’t function, the hairdryer didn’t blow hot air, and the iron was leaking. There was no soap provided, no proper blanket, and the bed was not made. We had to sleep under a thin sheet, which was unacceptable considering how cold it was — even in early May.
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
• Banceviča (9/5): Our stay was great. The location of the place and the place itself were really nice. However, some amenities such as iro - The location was perfect, very close to all must see’s in Florence. It was also very aesthetically pleasing. The most part of dishes was dirty, it was quite cold in the night and there was no noise cancellation. The blow-dry and iron didn’t work properly, too.
• Alisher (6/5): Pleasant -
• Qiaoli (10/5): Exceptional - Very lovely apartment in the Heart of Florence , cosy and unique decoration
• Helen (8/5): Beautiful flat but more style over comfort but I would happily stay again but bring ear plugs as very noisy from street - Beautiful Very noisy with street traffic and bed very hard
• Ranko (8/5): Very good -
• Bogdana (3/5): Poor - The location was very good. Very close to the center and attraction Very noisy and cold because of the windows that didn't close. Dirty curtains and duvet. Extremely soft and unconfortable mattress
• Luis (5/5): Passable -
• Matthew (1/5): Earplugs required - It was a very quaint and cute apartment not far from the highlights of Firenze. It was super noisy. We booked a 4 day stay but only stayed 3 since the street noise was so bad we could not sleep even with ear plugs. Also, the furniture was well worn and in need of replacing or refubishing and a few other maintenance issues like outlets that did not work and a door knob being held together with a drywall screw
• Vasileios (4/5): Disappointing - It was a traditional italian vintage apartment at very good location. The place had many old narrow stairs. Also, there was no bed but a sofa which was very uncomfortable. My back still hurts.
• Peter (8/5): Nice historical experince - It's a nice looking historical apartment. Since it's a historical apartment, it's not the coziest. But it's a good one. My main complaint is only the noise from the street (especially after midnight)
• Aristeidis (10/5): Value for money - Location, esthetics of the room.
• Ray (8/5): Very good - Good location for getting around central Florence and about 20 minute walk to station. The location was very noisy into the early hours of the morning with bars / restaurants nearby, I had to use ear plugs to get a good night sleep.
• Beatrice (10/5): Absolutely charming place! - Absolutely loved the apartment and my evening in the balcony! I think I have more photos from the apartment than I managed to take in the city in 1,5 days. Such a shame I hadn’t stayed there more than 1 night.
• Martin (8/5): Cute grandma’s like apartment with lovely terrace in top floor - Cute top floor apartment with lovely terrace. Washing machine and laundry detergent available. Equipped kitchen. Steep stairs to top floor, no elevator (old building). Not so clean floors. Squeaky bed which is actually just a sofa bed. It would be great to replace the sofa with regular bed.
• Jessica (7/5): The customer service was impeccable. - Location is amazing- the place is very cute and quaint, at the very top up for flights of stairs opposite a church Or fault for travelling in a heat wave but it was so hot- the little aircon unit doing its best but we had to get a fan in the end and that helped heaps. The sofa bed is almost at the end of its life but it was fine for us.
• Yuliia (10/5): Amazing palace - Ohhh it was so amazing!!! We didn’t expect this . But if you wanna feel all old Florence , and later live in place like palac ! You are diffidently should to choose this amazing place !!! Maybe just the bed creaked…
• Alghizy (3/5): Poor -
• Bettina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful, historic place, very close to the center, garage close by
• Daniel (8/5): Very nice overall - Great location, very secure with beautiful view. Showerhead and outdoor door handle need fixing
• Petar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ingelin (10/5): Exceptional - Really cute place, perfect size for two people. Location was great if you enjoy the less touristed-places, but a short walk to the inner city. Functioning kitchen and laundry, amazingly cute place Staff was amazing, helpful and friendly.
• Megstu_keliauti (10/5): Exceptional - The appartment is chaming. Like a time maschine in history-educational. Nice experience. Host was polite, accepted luggage before checkin-time. Next doors at small plazza there are a lot of restsurants for evening and morning breakfast. Next to Pitti Palace. Nothing. It is a very old (historical) appartment and building.
• Rebecca (8/5): Perfect Italian Hideaway! - The location was fantastic! Easy walk from the main train station, lots of cafes, restaurants bars and shops in the area. The apartment is super private, feels very quintessentially Italian. The host was lovely and kept in contact with us leading up to the stay to ensure a smooth experience! The stairs to the fourth floor carrying luggage is challenging, but this is also something that should be expected in this part of the world! If you struggle with stairs, it may be worth enquiring about lower level apartment’s.
• Frankie (8/5): Very good -
• Samantha (10/5): Loved our stay, the perfect location for Florence and gorgeous apartment. - Decor, flexibility of check in and out & location
• Baiba (8/5): Very good -
• Noa (10/5): Amazing location with the best host! - I loved it! It’s a really cute authentic place right in the buzz of the city. The street itself is quite quiet but turn the street and your in the middle of it all. Would recommend!
• Hanna (10/5): Perfect gateway - The atmosphere was fantastic! The host was very nice and helpful! Would go back again! Nothing
• Sara (8/5): Great Rustic Florentine Apartment. - Great location above a pizza spot and across the street from a lovely restaurant and cocktail bar that had a superb aperitivo. The unit was rustic yet functional. The kitchen was small but got the job done for a few small things. It was great that there was also a washing machine! Check in and out was very seamless, and the host was very communicative and kind. It was very hot and the air conditioning seemed to work well enough and there was a large fan that we also used occasionally to cool down. It was a little loud being on a busy corner, both early in the morning and late at night. We were woken up a couple of times from this, but it wasn't too bad, especially if we closed all of the shutters in addition to closing the windows; however, some of the windows and shutters were finicky so it was a small hassle to open them all back up again for fresh air and light during the day. The bed was okay. Having some more pillow options with pillow cases on them would have been great - I think there was one extra but it was very large and did not have a case so we were hesitant to use it.
• María (9/5): Perfect location, cute place and easy to find. - Everything was fine The bed was not stable enough and it wiggled a bit.
• Debra (9/5): Superb -
• Felipe (9/5): An entire luxurious apartment at the most affordable price ever! - Considering the location, the size of the apartment, and the luxurious decor, the Residenza dei Medici Palace Roberto must be the most "Instagrammable" place in Firenze for such an affordable price. I paid the same amount, or more, for much smaller rooms-with-bathroom-only in Rome. I even wish I had spent more days in the apartment to be able to take advantage of spaces like the living room with fireplace or the kitchen, which I ended up passing through very quickly. Although other guests complained about the height and "hardness" of the bed, for me, it was one of the most comfortable during the week I spent in Italy. The apartment is also located in a bohemian area full of bars and restaurants, where I ate one of the best pizzas I've ever had in my life. For those who select their hotels not only for comfort and value for money but also for the potential to generate beautiful photos to use on social media, the Residenza dei Medici Palace Roberto must be the best option ever! When I made the reservation, the information on Booking was that I could check in "from 12:00". With this in mind, I planned a trip from Rome to Firenze quite early (we arrived in the city around 9:30 a.m.) and pre-booked popular sightseeing tours, like the visit to the Accademia, in the mid-afternoon. But on the day before I received new information from the owners that the accommodation practiced "late check-in" and that the ideal time to arrive would be "after 4 p.m."! At that point, I could no longer cancel my other plans, so we had to spend almost seven hours walking around Firenze carrying our backpacks, checking in only at 6:30 p.m. (thus spending much less time in my room than I could have). It's good that other visitors are aware of this so as not to schedule their arrival earlier.
• Tim (6/5): An authentic, character, quirky property on second floor. Close to the lively Piazza Santa Spirito. - Excellent location. Character apartment. Helpful host. Bed not very comfortable and very noisy/creaky! Lots of narrow stairs, awkward with big suitcases.
• Jasmin (10/5): Nicco, our host, is a really friendly guy. He has helped us feel comfortable during our stay in Florence and offered us - The property was extremely clean and tidy. If you are into old/ medieval houses, this one is definitely for you. Personally, I enjoyed the whole experience of living in a house that has been standing for so long, especially due to the fact that it fits with the general atmosphere of ancientness in Florence.
• Mónica (8/5): We loved it - Lots of character, beautiful decor, very well located to walk everywhere. Niccolo is very helpful and nice The only thing is that on a busy night it can be a bit noisy, but it’s a periodic property so don’t think there’s much it can be done about it
• Martin (9/5): Superb - I had a great stay in the cozy apartment nicely located next to charming Piazza Santo Spirito.
• Rachel (1/5): Please don’t be fooled by ‘character’ - Sadly nothing. Unfortunately this is properly the worst apartment I’ve stayed in. The whole apartment was dirty, including the sheets, the ‘fans’ to cool the apartment barely worked which meant in the summer you are sleeping in 35C heat which is unbearable and questionably appropriate to rent to someone. The apartment is in need of renovation, don’t let the ‘character’ fool you. You will be bitten alive in this apartment, hoping it’s mosquitoes and not bed bugs. I would just avoid it.
• Margrete (10/5): Amazing location, spacious and comfortable apartment in the heart of Florence! - The location in the neighborhood of Santo Spirito is stellar! The apartment is charming, and has so much character, reminding one that they are truly in a historic landmark of a building, and a city! The Wi-Fi was perfect, as I work remotely, and it was super important. Everything was comfortable and well appointed. The communication of the host was so helpful, timely, and truly made my experience that much greater.!
• Inna (9/5): Superb - Location and balcony was great Air conditioning didn’t work
• Cecilia (9/5): Superb - Great location, really close to the city center. Amazing apartment and forniture. Great attention to details
• Torbjorm (9/5): Superb - The atmosphere of the apartment in this old building is fantastic. Also the location could not be better, close to everything but still in a homely neighbourhood. -
• Anastasiia (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location, a nice apartment with a beautiful view! We were very satisfied and would book this apartment once more!
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• Hew (9/5): Lovely apartment, very stylish and a real sense of history. - Everything. Could have done with a kitchen table.
• Daniel (7/5): Good -
• Richard (8/5): Very good - Charming, characterful property. Great location. Host was exceptionally attentive to any requests Air conditioning unit not able to cope when hot but fan supplied by host at very short notice helped a lot
• Julia (9/5): Beautiful little apartment in a lovely part of town. - The location was perfect, away from the crowds of the city centre but right next to the market square with cafes and bars. The apartment itself is so cute and beautiful, it has everything you could need and the terrace is really lovely. These things didn't impact my stay greatly, but I don't see why they can't put a proper bed in instead of the sofa bed. Also there are a lot of windows and none of them have blinds or curtains so you might be woken up by the light. The aircon was ineffective. But I think all of these things would be very easy to fix if the owner wanted to, and for the price of the room I would hope they will.
• Russell (9/5): Superb -
• Jenci (4/5): Magical nightmare - Location and feeling of the flat is amazing It was the worst bed I have ever laid my head down on. Got about 2 hours sleep each night. It felt like a cruel joke on the traveller
• Aleksandra (8/5): Very good -
• Irakli (10/5): Exceptional -
• Glauser (6/5): lovely flat with some deficiencies - host is very responsive, great location, cute flat and terrace, utilities and red wine upon arrival, easy check-in and access to flat via key box, private washing machine was a plus red ants in the bathroom, no wifi and no network, could be cleaner (dirty floor), uncomfortable bed to sleep in (because it's actually a couch), noisy neighbours/ bad soundproofing, no kitchen towels
• Gunilla (8/5): Lovely, genuin and beautiful! - This beautiful little studio was decorativly furnished with antic, but colourful sofas and tables. Our landlord was a real wonder of helpfullness! He was kind and with a wonderful sense of humour. Everything was clean and fresh. The surroundings were the opposite to touristic. There were lots of cosy small shops and restaurangs and best of all: The people were mistlur Italians! Nothing
• Leah (10/5): Lovely central Florence flat - really great place, lovely host responded quickly when we had questions and gave us recommendations of places to go, very central flat
• Ketchum (9/5): Amazing comfortable and cute. would stay again - awesome location and very homey. you can feel the history being there. I do wish there was wifi as my signal was bad in the area.
