Guest Reviews

• Zajaczkowski (10/5): - Tutto Niente
• Diego (5/5): -
• Arnoud (7/5): -
• Maiale (8/5): -
• Andreea (4/5): Moldy Apartment - The kitchen mold in the bedroom and bathroom, cold during mornings, couch was very dirty, noisy during nights
• Buscema Samuele (9/5): - Ho avuto necessità di fare check-in prima dell’orario e la mia richiesta è stata accolta senza problemi, in più il check out, semplicemente ho dovuto lasciare la chiave sul tavolo La posizione è un po’ scomoda e la zona non è delle migliori ma per una vacanza breve si può fare
• Caroline (8/5): Just what it says on the tin! - The apartment was just as described. Super clean and well equipped. The young man who let me in and showed me round was very kind and patient - I was later than I expected but he was very cool about it. It's a bit out of town (which is obvious from the map) so walking back was a bit of a drag. But the description etc is absolutely honest and clear.
• Srikanth (9/5): Superb - Excellent location near the river. Stress free checkin. Not much I could say. Just the bathroom key would have been great.
• Aileen (9/5): Superb -
• Annette (3/5): Couldn't wait to get out of it. - this a nice apartment but not bright and quiet. Dealing with the management of this property was too difficult, they are hard to reach and after sending 3 messages advising when we would be there no-one turned up. We were not shown how anything worked, given the wi fi access etc. The apartment opens onto a busy road, there is nowhere to hang washing other than inside and it takes 2 days to dry, you can't open the bedroom window because the fly screen is torn, dirt constantly comes in from under the front door from the traffic making the floor filthy. It was not worth the money.
• Antte (6/5): Honest review of Dark and Noisy apartment - Apartment is large enough. Kitchen have working fridge, oven and gas, dishwasher. Kattle for water was not working but we didn't report it as was not so important, we would just boil water on stove for instant coffie. Washing machine working fine which is important for longer stay like we did for 10 days. 5 min walk to Leopoldo tram station from where you go 2 station till center. Host is strange. Most important for him is to remind you that you need to pay extra if check in late and to remind you that you need to check out at 11:00. Extremly noisy. You can hear everything from outside apartment like it is inside. No any noise isolation. We were waking up every single night when any car or people were passing by window which was almost all the time. Very unpleasent smell of sewage. Even the clothes we washed and dry inside aparment was smelling bad after drying. The smell is constant. No wifi which we knew but the problem is also to catch normal internet signal on your phone, you need to be in the bedroom only. The biggest mistery is that the name of apartment is Quiet and Bright BUT THAT IS SOOOOOO FAR FROM THE TRUTH. IT IS COMPLETLY DIFFERENT AND SHOULD BE CALLED 'DARK AND NOISY APARTMENT'. This is completly honest review and we had nice time in Toscany (10 days) but if we come back we would for sure go to another apartment. If you disregard all what I wrote and choose to sleep in this apartment, here is one advise: use the mobile phone of agency from booking page and text them couple of days before arrival on Whats Up as otherwise they will just ignore you for some reason. UBER NOT WORKING. DOWNLOAD appTaxi application if you don't want to walk untill train station last day with luggage! All in all, I am sorry to say but we need to be more negative that possitive as for this money you can find closer and better apartment for sure.
• Ireneusz (5/5): Not "bright" choice, few problems and not guests oriented. - Location: Close to the river and 20 minutes nice walk to the center or train station. Few minutes to the supermarket. Check-in and host: You have to fill in the check in form before arrival. Despite we gave arrival time on the form and on booking.com, the host asking for it twice again. We suggested aproximate time due to plane and trains comuttance, but finally we had to wait for keys. The apartment is probably owned by some company. The guy don't really know the apartment, how to open the door, how to prepare the sofa bed, is there WiFi or not. Strange and not professional. There were no information for guests, eg about rubbish, some tourists tips. But we got instead reminder that the check-out is before 11am, four times! Apartment and equipment: Situated on the ground floor. I don't know why the name is "Bright and Quiet", because there are only small windows with views for small streets. It is not so bright and not so quiet. There is enough space for 2+2 family and you get quite good equipment like washing machine, microwave, moka pot and hairdryer. However some furniture's are very poor and located without any idea - cabinet for shoes in the bathroom? Why? The entrance doors are in the living room. We found some salt and coffee but it were not fresh. There is also AC adapter, but no WiFi is provided. Beds: Main bed is quite big and comfortable, however the sofa bed is awful. Beds were not also prepared for arrival. Cleanliness: The apartment was not prepared with care. The floor was dirty, we had to wash all glasses and pots, the shower curtain is very used, toilet seat is clean but unscrewed. However the kitchen ove and microwave were clean, linens and towels were also ok. Problems: The biggest disappointment was that after arrival we found that there is no heating and hot water. The boiler was broken and it wasn't even checked before our arrival. The host proposed to fixed it next day, which was not acceptable. Finally We fixed the boiler by ourselves with Vaillant manual from Internet and hand made screwdriver. No compensation was offered.
