Guest Reviews
- Ivan (6/5): -
- Adriana Rita (4/5): Sconsigliato. - La posizione e il check-in in autonomia. Staff sempre reperibile. La pulizia perché l’appartamento presentava parecchia polvere, peli in bagno e tracce di unto in cucina. Il letto super-scomodo. Roba di scarsa qualità per l’arredamento di tutta la casa. Non è presente l’essenziale per cucinare e pentole e padelle sono macchiate e deformate quindi vecchie.
- Renzo Alexander (1/5): MALISSIMO - Per niente Ma è tutto sporco anche il letto per niente buono
- Amedeo Iagulli (10/5): Appartamento indipendente, accogliente e vicino alla Fortezza e al centro storico. Comodo e pratico -
- sara (4/5): - il punto in cui si trova è molto comodo per raggiungere tutte le attrazioni a piedi appena siamo arrivate c’era odore di chiuso terribile, polvere e sporco ovunque specialmente sul divano letto, il piumone aveva un pessimo odore, le lenzuola almeno erano nuove quindi erano pulite ma abbiamo dovuto mettere gli asciugamani per separare il materasso dalle lenzuola perché faceva davvero schifo, pieno di polvere, peli e capelli.
Oltre ad essere sporco aveva anche un’asta rotta il che non ci ha permesso di dormire bene.
Non era la sola cosa sporca che abbiamo trovato tra l’altro, allego foto per maggiori info
- CHARALAMPOS (1/5): Unfortunately my worst experience as long as I travel. I checked in the first night at 23:30 and from the first minute t -
- Thi Thu Trang (5/5): -
- Heather (7/5): We had a lovely stay - Location as close to everything. Simple and clean. Contact staff were prompt to reply to any queries. Fridge didn't work.
- Aghisilaos (3/5): Μη άνετη κυρίως λόγω κακού κρεβατιού. - Κακο κρεβάτι. Μη αλλαγή πετσετών. Κακή αποχετευση νιπτήρα μπάνιου. Μη λειτουργία τηλεόρασης λόγω έλλειψης tv control. Ο ιδιοκτήτης ενημερώθηκε για όλα μέσω whatsup αλλά η απάντηση ήταν sorry for your inconvenience.
- MONICA (7/5): Soggiorno meraviglioso di 2 giorni a Firenze con mia figlia di 8 anni - Monolocale in posizione molto comoda e silenziosa; 10 minuti dal Centro.
Totale disponbilità da parte della struttura durante la prenotazione e risposte immediate tramite chat. Il divano letto era piuttosto scomodo.
Ho avuto difficoltà inizialmente a capire quale fosse il numero dell'appartamento per poter accedere.
- buono (4/5): assolutamente da comprare un materasso visto che per due notti con check out fissato alle 11 chiede più 190€ - posizione ottima, ambiente caldo ed accogliente letto scomodissimo, non si riesce a dormire comodamente, pulizia dell’ambiente scarseggiante.
Al momento del ritiro della chiave come indicato nel bar indicato nei messaggi (bar che prende le distanze dalla struttura), il proprietario ci ha inviato il codice sbagliato per ritirare la chiave. Dopo più di 40 minuti tra chiamate e messaggi che ignorava ha risposto alla barista (super disponibile). Una volta riusciti a prendere la chiave, il proprietario della struttura non si é degnato di richiamare o rispondere ai numerosi messaggi da noi mandati. Da quanto abbiamo capito, cosa che succede numerose volte…
- Claudia (4/5): La vera bellezza è la cittá - Stanza carina e situata in una buona posizione dal centro e dalla stazione centrale Pulizia 0 , pavimento sporco, divano letto con polvere e materasso scomodissimo ,non c’è la possibilita di poter chiudere l’anta della doccia perchè è rotta, il lavandino ed il bidet perdono acqua quindi consumi piu asciugamani per metterli a terra che per asciugarti … conviene portarli da casa. La tv funziona ma il telecomando malfunzionante non permette di poterla utilizzare, per quanto riguarda il riscaldamento c’è un solo termosifone nel bagno che piu o meno riesce a riscaldare l’intera stanza perchè è comunque abbastanza piccola , non si puó utilizzare la stufetta dietro la tenda perché è vecchissima e sporchissima . Io penso che se il proprietario se ne prendesse piú cura sarebbe proprio carina , magari aggiustando le cose malfunzionanti nel bagno , inserendo un materasso e cuscini nuovi decenti , un condizionatore , una tv decente e piú pulizia.
- Klaudia (8/5): Tutto sommato ho passato un piacevole soggiorno in questa struttura. - Posizione, Ho dovuto ritirare le chiavi dell’appartamento in un bar a circa 15 minuti dalla struttura: io che ho lasciato la macchina in un autosilo dalla parte opposta è stato scomodo. Chi dovesse, invece, arrivare in treno è comodo.
Consiglio di sostituire il soffione della doccia.
- Ignasi (4/5): Apartament ben ubicat, però sense una bona neteja. Aconseguir entrar va ser molt difícil. - Bona localització. Bany gran. Llit molt incòmode. Estava tot brut (pèls, taques...). L'aigua feia olor de claveguera. No s'especificaven ni el pis de l'apartament ni la porta, el vam trobar de casualitat, ja que l'amfitrió no agafava el telèfon.

- Gabriela (5/5): - The location was great The “bed” is extremely uncomfortable, the plumbing is smelly, we had to pick up and leave the keys in a bar that is 15 min away walking, and they left little toilet paper
- ARCANGELA PATRIZIA (4/5): - Posizione Poca pulizia
- José Carmelo (8/5): Estancia en Florencia - La ubicación y el fácil acceso al apartamento. El Este tipo de sofá cama tiene un colchón poco cómodo por su espesor.
- cartura (3/5): - La pulizia dell'appartamento è da rivedere, in più non erano presenti detersivi e pezze (c'era solo una spugna e un dito di sapone per piatti). Ma la cosa più preoccupante è che il monolocale di fronte ha la stessa serratura e l'abbimo scoperto ritrovandoci degli estranei nell'appartamento. Fortunatamente erano delle ragazze tranquille che si sono rese immediatamente conto dell'errore e sono uscite subito, ma consiglio comunque vivamente di cambiare una delle due serrature per questioni di sicurezza.
- Manuel J. (8/5): Buen hospedaje en Firenze - Apartamento amplio, limpio, utensilios de cocina y limpieza. Excelente ubicación cerca de todo a pie en zona segura. El sofá cama tiene un colchón extremadamente incómodo, necesita ya un cambio. El check-in se hace en otro sitio un poco retirado del hospedaje, considerando que uno llega con maletas es bastante incómodo.
- Juan Cruz (7/5): - Muy bien ubicado No tenía cama, era un sofá cama y no lo sabíamos
- ARTEM (6/5): -
- Machín Legón (8/5): -
- Mathis (2/5): Avoid at all costs, book something slightly more expensive. It’ll be worth it I promise ! - The studio wasn’t too far away from the city center. Approximately a 15 min walk. The bed was so uncomfortable we had to put the mattress on the floor and not on the base. It was so thin it hurt our ribs and hips when sleeping on our side. The mattress itself was maybe 10cm thick if you’re generous. There was no blanket supplied, just a thin blanket cover and without the option to turn off the AC, we were very cold all night long. A light bulb in the appartement was flickering. We were only given 2 rolls of toilet paper for a 4 day stay. Worst of all, the owners did not answer any of my questions.
- jamie (6/5): -
- Francesco (8/5): -
- Silvia Maria (8/5): No geral, foi muito boa. - Local agradável e apartamento agradável. Fácil locomoção ao centro, uma caminhada ou mesmo ônibus próximos. A cama não achei confortável, para mim é muito macio o colchão, mas isso depende do gosto de cada um.
Pedi uma cama extra já informando que eu pagaria este pedido, me responderam que eu seria atendida e que não seria cobrado nada. Ao chegar, não havia cama extra e não entendi se foi falha de comunicação do Booking ou do anfitrião. A falha começou ao reservarem um outro quarto para a minha irmã e depois avisarem que ela tinha reembolso pois não havia mais quartos, por esta razão pedi a cama extra. Enfim, consegui um outro hotel próximo para ela.
- Andrea (6/5): - Posizione
Aria condizionata La tv non funziona.
Il letto è scomodissimo.
Lavandino otturato.
Nessun dépliant informativo per il turista.
- Junpeng (2/5): muy mal - no todo
- Conor (4/5): - Location was fine. Didn’t meet any staff so can’t comment on that. Convoluted check in (have to collect the key from another property). Awkward, uncomfortable pull out bed. Kind of soulless, no real character or charm. Feels like a cash grab. Had I researched more I mightn’t have booked.
- Maria (8/5): Good - The location was great and it was really clean. The mattress is not very comfortable. It’s a sofa bed and because of that the mattress is only couple of inches deep
- Rivera Bravo (8/5): -
- Iranpour (9/5): Superb -
- Lori (4/5): Disappointing - Only one good thing is that is close to historical part of Firenze. It's smell bad, not clean good, dirty pillows under the sofa. Don't have even small coffee machine. And worse is that you should go to take the key from one bar to check in, and after that to bring back the same bar. Don't like it.
- Greenstreet (4/5): Disappointing - Good proximity to city centre and other amenities.
No microwave and the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable and made my back very painful.
- Mariami (4/5): Disappointing -
- Ardian (1/5): Bad -
- Terry (8/5): We would stay here again. Definitely - Excellent location. We walked to almost all the sites we planned to see. Nice neighborhood. Close to coffe shops and restaurants No complaints.
- Suzanne (8/5): Very good - The location was great and for the price we had everything we needed. The traffic can be noisy and the smell of the drains can be off-putting.
- Alina (2/5): Very poor - We were informed that we will have an entire apartment, and we receive one room at our arrival.
- Pinelopi (6/5): Pleasant - The location was perfect. The sofa was uncomfortable 😐.
- Uros (5/5): Passable - Good location. Had everything needed in the shower/kitchen. Uncomfortable small bed. Greasy dishes and cutlery.
- Shakra (2/5): Very poor - The room was smelly, and the bed was really uncomfortable, caused me back pain, I stayed there for a week and nobody clean the room during the stay.
- Makenna (3/5): I would not stay here again. - Cute and clean The AC didn’t work. Paid for AC. Location is horrible it’s right above a bar and on a busy street. The staff was unhelpful and unwilling to fix the AC issue. I would not stay here again.
- Kheir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tejasvi (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and clean room. Good location. Getting the keys were easy and on time. Ample space and good interiors
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - very helpful and friendly staff apartment equipment with good facility
- Andrea (2/5): DO NOT BOOK !!! 2-hour wait for key, sewage smell, mold and springy sofa bed - The only good thing about this property is their location. List of things that made this our worst stay in Italy: (May-2023)
1. You only get PART of what is displayed on the PICTURES. We were confused when arriving and seeing how small this property actually was, then realized they show multiple properties on the pictures instead of the one you are actually booking.
2. There was a reeking ODOUR of SEWAGE coming from the bathroom which is 2 steps away from your springy sofa bed. The air ventilation was defective and moldy therefore wasn't of much help.
3. The SOFA BED had a huge gap in the middle and felt so used, that you could feel the dozens of SPRINGS in it. Our backs hurt after only 2 nights (we are in our mid-twenties for reference)
4. ADDITIONAL check-in RULES were provided 3 DAYS before our arrival asking for a SPECIFIC CHECK-IN TIME (with a 15 MINUTES curtesy window). When we were unable to make our "appointment" for 12pm due to delays and poor internet service to communicate (as many travelers experience), we had to wait 2 hours on the street with our luggages for the host's next availability. Their booking.com check-in rules failed to mentioned this essential information regarding check-in, as we would not have booked this *non-refundable* (+400$ CAD) property had we known there was no reception for 2pm-11pm check in (as mentioned on Booking) and that the host operates like an Airbnb. When raising this issue with the host, he first tried to ignore the entire situation and then blamed us for our tardiness. He only offered an apology after we had a serious altercation to confront him about it and advised him we would leave a poor review.
Finally, plenty of other little things like a non-functioning air conditioning and the fact that only half a roll of toilet paper was given, made this out the be a horrible place to stay. You can get much more for your money and not encourage or be victim of what I consider to be poor and deceptive business practices.
- Hyejin (1/5): Bad - There was no wifi. The sofa bed made my back hurt. The smell was terrible. I had to open the window the whole day and still the smell didn’t go. The air-conditioner filter is so dirty. Don’t think they clean. I have never used a room so disappointing… I accidently put my wallet in the room and check-out . I called them to receive it and never heard back. Do no book this room.
- Ana (5/5): Not good value - money - It was ok The sofa bes was not comfortable at all, too expensive for what it was
- Troy (10/5): Solid base camp for Firenze - Staff was very helpful. Answered all of our questions. Location was near the busy areas but far enough away that it was quiet. Reccomend to anyone looking for a base camp to explore the wonderful city of Florence. Wifi and AC instructions were not present in the apartment, but the staff was quick to respond when messaged.
- Komal (1/5): Worst and uncomfortable - Worst ! Worst ! Worst!
Nothing Very uncomfortable bed so basically its sofa cum bed but its not bed its spring very bad quality of mattress and very dirty and they didnt change the towels also as we stayed there for 3 days no cleaning. very irresponsible also and ac was also not working . Such a bad experience Pls dont ever book this property .
- Μαρία (7/5): Good - The room was in walking distance to the city center, the host helped us to check in at a convenient time. The bed
- Aliaksandra (9/5): Superb -
- James (7/5): Good -
- Tom (7/5): Good - Very comfortable, great location Bathroom stunk fairly bad sometimes
- Hjalte (3/5): AC was not working the whole time even though we were promised it. no compensation recieved yet. - We didn't have any AC which was a huge issue because it was so warm
