Guest Reviews

• Raquel (10/5): -
• Assel (6/5): Pleasant - We stayed here from June 6 to June 8, 2025. There is an unpleasant smell in the room, the bed linen was damp. However, it still hasn't dried for 2 days. WiFi didn't work almost all the time. I wrote to the staff about WiFi, but no one fixed it or even asked. The shower leaks a lot, which is why the floor in the bathroom was constantly wet. The location is beautiful, but far from the center. However, you can get there by bus.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Khaled (9/5): Superb -
• Dali_n (6/5): Pleasant - It was possible to communicate well with the host until the moment of taking over the keys. Location on a very busy street, it was very noisy if you opened the windows at night (to be able to breathe, being very hot). Lack of air conditioning, the fans provided being insufficient. The most disturbing: ants present that also climbed on the table where you sit to eat. The bathroom needs a thorough cleaning. The carpet in the living room needs to be replaced. The lack of insect nets on the windows (I also saw lizards walking on the building in front - they could enter very easily at night due to the lack of nets).
• Nawar (7/5): Relaxing - The location and the space were nice There was no materials to use apart from two bags of shampoo and shower gel for two persons. When booking such apartment, you expect to find shampoo, shower gel, coffee, dish cleaning soap, etc. as travelers shouldn’t be expected to furnish the apartment with such materials and items
• Ashleigh (6/5): Value for money but far from town, mattress and smell needs changing - Good to get an apartment for washing clothes and have more space than a hotel room The property has a very damp smell, the mattress is terrible and the wifi is very bad. I believe this has been written several times by other reviewers but no action has been taken. The check in process was not smooth, we needed to contact several people over what’s app and stand in the rain for 30mins waiting for someone to let us in.
• Jeremy (6/5): OK for a day or two, but there must be better options in Florence. - The apartment had a well equipped kitchen and was adequate for a short stay. Next door is a nice bar & cafe with a shady terrace and friendly staff. There are a few good restaurants nearby. The representative for the management company met us promptly for check in. We had originally booked an apartment in Santo Spirito but our booking was cancelled at short notice and this was offered as alternative for a similar price. Clearly not at the same level as the original booking which was in a better location, had a balcony and city views. The description is misleading. It is not a lovely apartment, it is a fairly ok apartment. And it is not at or in Boboli Gardens, but fairly close to it. The bed was not comfortable - need new mattresses. The shower drain was slow, i.e. partially blocked. The hot water heater made a constant clicking, irritating noise. There was a dishwasher in the kitchen, but no dishwasher tablets provided. Nobody staying here for a few days is going to buy a whole box of tablets and then use one or two, leaving the rest behind. All in all, I don’t think this place is good value.
• Elisa (9/5): Superb -
• Olalla (8/5): Very good - Location, cleanliness of the property
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in a quiet neighborhood. An easy walk from the historic center of Florence. Very slight musty smell, most likely from non-recent use. Otherwise is was spotlessly clean.
• Jessie (6/5): Cozy stay, do not expect to use the washer - Location was as expected. Spacious place with everything you could need. The detergent dispenser in the washer was moldy. The door gasket in the washer was filled with water and had debris in it. Because it was unsanitary, we were not able to use the washer during our stay, which we would have liked to use. Front loaders need to have the door and detergent tray kept open after use. My hope is that the linens were not washed using that machine. Nothing was communicated by the host for checkout. A woman unexpectedly entered the apartment the morning of checkout. She did wait outside until we were gone. I did not hear back from the host until well after checkout that the key could be left in the tray. It would be nice to have instructions to operate the heating. The WiFi worked well, but the network name listed stated it contained “69” when it was “59”. We figured it out, but the typo should be corrected for the next guest.
