Guest Reviews
- Michael (9/5): Perfekt - Sehr gut in einer ruhigen Nebenstraße gelegen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fussläufig erreichbar. Seher netter Gastgeber, gerne wieder. Ein paar Kleiderhaken :-)
- Edoardo (9/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): Muy bien todo - Su ubicación. Muy cerca del centro. Muy cómodo
- Pablo (3/5): Standard place but the host probably forgot we were coming - The place is good and how it's depicted on the photos. The check-in was pretty awful. The host never told us how to get the keys, he didn't answer our messages and, not until I found him on the phone, I could get that we needed to ask for the keys on the shop next door (which was closed at the time of our arrival). Just one simple message would be enough but well..
- Pierre (8/5): Notre sejour s’est très bien passé car nous étions dehors toute la journée - Extrêmement bien placé, permet de découvrir Florence à pied Appartement basique mais suffisent pour qui veut découvrir Florence et la région du Chianti
Hôtes charmants
- Benítez Sosa (10/5): Carino appartamento dove ho passaro una notte con i miei genitori a Firenze, vicinissimo a centro ci si arriva a piedi - La Struttura era accogliente anche se piccola in tre persone siamo stati molto bene, la cucina era attrezzata e comoda, non si sentono rumori perché al interno di un palazzo a meno di 10minuti camminando dal centro Suggerisco avere a portata di mano degli elementi di pulizia tipo scopa, paletta o panno cattura polvere, ma è solo un suggerimento.
- Nardelli (9/5): - Ottimo appartamento a 20 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Santa Maria Novella e 10 minuti a piedi dalla Cattedrale.
Proprietario gentile e disponibile, attento a tutte le nostre necessità.
- Fabien (7/5): Oui mais - Excellent emplacement, proche du centre et activités. Quartier calme et terrasse très agréable. L'appartement mérite un bon rafraîchissement de peinture.
Literies très inconfortables, matelas à ressorts premier prix d'une marque suédoise. Les draps ont déjà bien servis.
- Caroline (6/5): Déçus - L'emplacement Des odeurs nauséabondes d'égouts, un seul verre à vin, pas d 'eau chaude le premier soir, logement très sombre et literie molle.
- Marica (10/5): - Siamo rimasti contenti dall'alloggio! È veramente carino e dotato di tutti i comfort, in una zona centralissima ma allo stesso tempo molto silenziosa, perfetta per esplorare la città. Il proprietario è stato gentilissimo, ci ha permesso di posare i bagagli prima del check-in e di lasciarli il giorno dopo tutta la giornata nonostante avessimo già fatto il check-out. Un vero 10 e lasso! Lo consigliamo vivamente!
- Olivier (8/5): Séjour d’une nuit - Appartement situé dans une rue calme
L’appartement est à 300 M de la station tram T2, place San Marco. Pratique pour aller/arriver de l’aéroport N.A
- Bogdana Virginia (10/5): Ci torneremo sicuramente! - Un appuntamento ben sistemato, con la cucina e terrazzo, posizionato vicino alla stazione e vicino al centro ,.
Zona tranquilla, disposizione ottima al interno , non lato strada che fa tantissimo per poter godere anche dei momenti di rilasso in tranquillità.

- Sammy (8/5): - Posizione comodissima , appena entri l’appartamento è dritto infondo al corridoio, staff molto cortese , abbiamo potuto lasciare le valigie al collega del proprietario che lavora nel negozietto di cancelleria accanto. Dopo essere entrati abbiamo avuto problemi con il riscaldamento , abbiamo chiamato il proprietario disponibilissimo che ha avvisato il collega che è arrivato a sistemare la caldaia in pochi minuti.
- Alessandra (1/5): Pessimo - Solamente la posizione a 15 minuti dal centro In pratica tutto. Partiamo dal fatto che l'host referente non rispondeva alle chiamate e ai messaggi. Quando siamo arrivate in struttura abbiamo dovuto aspettare e dovevano ancora pulire la stanza. Appena possibile siamo entrate in appartamento e li ci sono state le sorprese: muri belli sporchi, ricchi di muffa e umidità, tanto da fare mancare il fiato....non consigliato a persone allergiche o che devono soggiornare a lungo...
Letto molto scomodo e lenzuola più piumino sporchi, per fortuna che dopo aver sollecitato l' host c'è ne ha fornite di pulite.
Lavandino del bagno intasato con scarico molto lento, box doccia da rifare perché se chiudi le porte non chiudono bene e allaghi il bagno.
Se vuoi usare la cucina devi comprare un accendino e le pentole non sono il massimo....di sicuro è molto utile il microonde.
Il giardino di sicuro non è utilizzabile visto gli odori che ci sono e lo sporco che c, è.....
Per fortuna che esiste la rete wiife perché altrimenti state senza segnale per tutto il tempo...

- Anita (10/5): - Proprietari molto disponibili, struttura pulita e accogliente, posizione molto comoda vicina sia al centro che ai mezzi. Molto consigliato!
- Filippo (8/5): -
- Alicia (5/5): Necesita mejoras, es una pena, porque la ubicacion esta genial - Francesco muy amable y atento. Muy centrico para ir andando y la zona muy tranquila El colchon ya esta un poco deformado, el patio que tenia muchas ganas de usarlo necesita mas cuidado, no me atrevi a salir, mosquiteras no hay, el sacador las clavijas no entraba en el enchufe. Necesita un buen repaso, hay muchas cosas averiadas y mucha humedad. Mi marido no me dejo, pero queria buscar otra habitacion cuando la vi, a mi hijo y a mi nos corto el punto. Tenia las expectativas mas altas, quizas nos impacto porque llegabamos del dia anterior de uno de Milan que fue expectacular.

- Laura (8/5): -
- Gabriele (8/5): Molto agevole per pernottamenti corti e per visitare firenze - La cucina era davvero ben fornita e il piccolo cortile interno molto carino per mangiare fuori. La posizione dell'appartamento è fantastica La camera da letto è un po' claustrofobica, con il letto che occupa 90% dello spazio, purtroppo non ci sono lavatrice o lavastoviglie che renderebbero il tutto più comodo
- Mariam (7/5): - La localisation est parfaite. - Le manque de communication avec l’hôte : temps de réponse très lent à nos messages.
- les instructions d’accès au logement n’étaient pas claires.
- Réception d’une adresse incorrecte de la part de l’hôte
- ВЛАДИМИР (9/5): - Близо до центъра, има двор и всичко необходимо в кухнята Тоалетната дъска се клати :-)

- Bronagh (8/5): Cozy apartment in a great location - The apartment was just what we needed, cozy and close to the centre at a good price. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. It is small but we knew this going in and it didn’t matter as we didn’t need much room, the price was great for Florence and so close to the centre!
- daniela (7/5): - Da localização Do cheiro desagradável a chegada ao apartamento.l e falta de ar condicionado, aoartamento muito quente.
- jesica solange (5/5): - La posizione Piccolo , senza ventilazione, con odore a chiuso e umidità, zenza zanzariera. Attenzione del personale scarsa
- Donjetë (1/5): Bad -
- Viktoriia (7/5): Okay rest in Florence - The localisation was probably the best thing about the apartment. We also enjoyed the garden, although it would be nice for the owner to look better after it. The bed was soft, big and comfy. The host Corso was also nice and helped with what he could First of all, the communication from the start was 0, we came to the house and had to call the host ourselves. We came half an hour to the stated check in time (13:00) and apparently as it turned out our check in time was at 14:00. Anyways we left our bags and left to explore. The apartment has a kitchen which was pretty clean, nice terrace with chairs, although they were dusty. The bathroom is small, so for someone a bit bigger it might be a problem to get in and out of the shower. The shower curtain probably needs replacement as we had troubles properly closing it so water doesn’t spay out. Check out was 10:30, but the cleaning team came 20 minutes early and we were in a hurry to leave the apartment. The area is pretty quiet if not taking to mind the upstairs neighbour who came home at 12 pm and was slamming the doors.
- Caglar (5/5): The apartment was poorly maintained, cold, and hard to access, not recommended except for summer stays. - The house is located 150 meters inside Via Laura street, even though it is marked as being at the entrance of the street on the map, so don’t be surprised.
We tried to check in half an hour earlier(around 12:30pm), but when we called the host, even though the check-in time was between 1:00pm and 2:00pm, he said we could check in after 2:00pm. It was difficult to communicate with him(as he couldn’t speak English ofc). After waiting for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, we called them again at 1:45pm, saying the check-in time started at 1:00pm. He finally told us to pick up the keys from the stationery shop next door, but the shop was closed. A little while later, the shop owner came and opened the door, and we were finally able to enter the house. After that, another person who could wrote English contacted us via WhatsApp, claiming to be our host, and we communicated with them until we checked out.
Despite the temperature being above 20°C outside, the apartment was quite cold. At night, it turned into a freezer. Although there was a device in the corridor to adjust the heat, we couldn’t figure out whether it was controlling the water temperature or the heating system. No matter how much we increased the temperature on the device, the house temperature didn’t change, and the radiators never worked during our 3-day stay. Therefore, I would highly recommend NOT staying here between November and April.
Additionally, the apartment had a lovely terrace, but it was in very poor and neglected condition. Even though the photos may make you imagine enjoying a bottle of red Tuscany wine on the beautiful terrace, you couldn’t sit there for even a minute due to the dirt and filth.
The bedroom was quite small, so I wish patience to those who have to sleep near the wall. Also, my wife, who has a mold allergy, started to feel increasingly uncomfortable in the room by the third day.
As you can see in the photos, the bathroom sink had very slow drainage, and it was often clogged.
- Max (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sergio (8/5): Very good -
- Nojus (8/5): Very good -
- Stefan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Enida (7/5): Good -
- Emily (10/5): Friendly host and apartment had everything you would need - Amazing location and great outside space Nothing
- Keelindineen (8/5): 3 night stay in Florence - Very central location for Florence. Very quite for being so close to the action. Lovely cafes near-by with a great view of the dumo. Was nice to have an outside area too. Not that we didn't like snd not a problem for us, but just note the bedroom is on the smaller side when getting into bed, but the bed is a huge size, we slept great.
- Viktoria (8/5): Perfect location for sightseeing - Absolutely loved the location - about 10min away from Duomo di Firenze and other attractions. Lovely small inner yard to enjoy your breakfast/ lunch/ dinner if weather allows you to :) Kitchen has everything to cook and serve your own meals.
All in all we loved our stay here, as we really felt ourselves as locals. These are mostly suggestions for the hosts:
1) Pepper would be a great add to the kitchen's spice collection
2) Instructions how to check out
3) Maybe some tips where to find a grocery shop or where to eat as local
4) I was missing a shoehorn
- Tara (7/5): Great location for exploring Florence - Great location, 5 mins walk from the Cathedral, 15/20 minute walk from main train station. Quiet at night. No AC but we knew this, a fan was provided, kitchen and washing machine very handy. Small appartment but ideal for a couple. Bed was extremely soft.
Shower door was broken and didn't drain well.
- Jd (8/5): Very good -
- Esther (5/5): You get what you pay for! - The location is great, but that’s about it…
Wi-fi reliable. I think the host was very kind, so I feel kind of bad, but you do get what you pay for. We booked this last minute, so didn’t really have much of a choice, but writing this to warn other travelers who have the benefit of leisure on their hands.
First, cleanliness. The other reviews mentioned smashed mosquitoes on the walls and I was shocked to see it exactly the same way. There were at least 8-10 smashed mosquitoes on the walls, and stains from other smashed bugs.
The shower was definitely not very clean, and the sink vanity was also a bit mussy. There was no soap in our soap dispenser, and our kitchen sink didn’t have any sponges or dish soap, so I left the dishes rinsed and as clean as I could get them with our bar soap. Dishes were not clean either, so I rinsed them first before doing anything.
Layout:
Kitchen has a mini and full fridge. Feel like the full fridge is overkill but it does take up a lot of limited space.
Couch is stiff and opens up as a futon. Not much space otherwise to put luggage, as the full bed in the main bedroom takes up the whole room save for some stepping space and a tiny nightstand.
Facilities:
Advertised that it’s A/C, but there was no unit there!!!! So disappointing, he just told us to open the windows, but the backyard attracts so many mosquitoes that we decided to just sit in our sweat than to be eaten alive. The mosquitoes would fly in and just sit there on the ceiling, so we were terrified.
Laundry in the backyard, no dryer; was so humid in the summer it wasn’t worth it to try and dry our clothes on the rack.
Bedsheets were thin, didn’t smell weird or at all thankfully, but weirdly colored so I didn’t feel super comfortable using them.
Shower door is broken and unfixed (mentioned in another review) and no soap/body soap/anything was provided. Bathroom also doesn’t have a fan, and again, we didn’t want to risk mosquitoes so opening bathroom window wasn’t an option.
- Cristian (9/5): Nice place! - Peaceful place with a small outdoor. the host was very helpful in keeping the luggages after the checkout time. everything was ok
