- Siya (10/5): - Всичко беше прекрасно! Перфектна локация! Чист и удобен апартамент.
- Claudia Lucía (6/5): - Cercanía 1. El baño tenía humedad y mal olor, el agua se salía y tenia problemas con el calentador.
2. Nos querían cobrar más por llegar después de las 8:30pm (check in late)

- Alin (10/5): This place got everything you need. Central so you are close to all major spots, comfortable bed, all the facilities. 10 - This place got everything you need. Central so you are close to all major spots, comfortable bed, all the facilities. 10/10 I’d definitely come back here. I don’t even know how others give this less than a 10. I was skeptical after reading some other reviews,but trust this place is awesome.

- Guest (6/5): Muito boa localização, mas apartamento mediano. Pouca limpeza. - Localização. Pouco limpo. Falta de comodidades: só havia 1 saco do lixo, 2 rolos de papel higiénico, 1 frasco de azeite com apenas um resto. Utensílios de cozinha em mau estado. Ferro de passar continha calcário e não cumpria a função. A tábua a mesma coisa: não tinha sequer capa. A casa tinha aparência de Estar inacabada.

- YOZKAN (10/5): Mükemmel bir konaklama - Sabrina hanım yardımsever ve güler yüzlüydü. Bizi kapıda karşıladı ve daireyi anlattı. Oldukça temiz popüler gezi noktalarına 5 - 10 dakika yürüme mesafesinde şehrin kalbinde bir yer. Açıkçası rezervasyon yaparken bu kadar merkezi bir konumda olmasını beklemiyordum Santa Crouse kilisesini hemen yanında bulunuyor. Açıkçası kötü yorum yapanları anlayamadım tam anlamıyla mükemmel bir yer
- Adeline (4/5): Disappointing - The apartment is in a convenient location and suitable for a couple or a small family with a young child. However the sofa bed is quite small and may not be ideal for older children or additional adults.
If your main focus in on location and you don't expect much, this place may still meet your needs for short term stay. Cleanliness could have been improved. The floor felt sticky and did not seem to have been properly cleaned.
Our experience with the owner was unfortunately less than pleasant. We found the communication to be unfriendly and not very accommodating, particularly when we requested for an earlier check-in. A bit more warmth and flexibility would have made a big difference.
- Delia (6/5): Nice apartment but rude host - Good location, good kitchen facilities, clean and confortable The host had a very rude atitude. There were 19 degrees in the apartment and 10 degrees outside. I asked her why the heating or the AC are not working as I was feeling cold. She could simply say that this is the legislation in Italy but she preffered to be rude, telling me that it is not cold with a mocking attitude and face palm emojis. Also she told me that I did not read the house rules as it is mentioned there that there will be no heating. That is not mentionion in the house rules so please update it
- Katherine (5/5): Florence was wonderful. Location of apartment amazing, but wouldn’t choose to stay here again due to the above reasons. - Location great and good facilities including a lift. Bathroom was smelly, although appeared clean. I was asked in advance when we would arrive, more than once, and then the apartment wasn’t ready. Electricity went off during our stay, (we were not in), and it was upto us to find fuse box and sort it out. Also building works outside bedroom which started before 8am some mornings. Our contact was not very welcoming or helpful.
- Emma (2/5): Not recommended - Location I normally wouldn’t bother writing such a detailed review, but I feel I have to warn others—especially after the staff’s only response to us complaining about the freezing cold was to "just wear more clothes." That kind of attitude made it clear that they had no interest in improving anything, so here we go.
• The heater and air conditioning didn’t work at all, and it was absolutely freezing in the room.
• The smell from the bathroom drain was awful—and the entire bedroom smelled like that too.
• There were blood stains from mosquitoes smeared on the walls, along with tons of dead mosquitoes stuck to them—really disgusting.
• The bedding was barely acceptable. The "blanket" and pillow were covered with loose pieces of cloth that didn’t stay in place, so you’d end up sleeping directly on the bare yellow pillow and blanket unless you lay completely still all night.
• Many things were broken: the sofa stood on only three legs because the fourth one was broken and useless, the toilet brush was broken, and the fridge wasn’t fixed in place—when you opened the door, the whole fridge nearly toppled over.
• The boiler was extremely loud and ran for ages, constantly making noise and disrupting any attempt to relax or sleep.
Overall, the place felt neglected and unhygienic, and the staff clearly didn’t care about guest comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone.
Booking was extremely helpful after we complained though - so full points for customer service.
- Dr. (2/5): Never again - Good location, supermarket pretty close We go on holidays often, but we have never experienced something like this with a host before. They did not answer our questions and requests before arriving via booking.com (babybed, parking situation). All communication via whatsapp later was unpolite and in commanding tone. The flat went dark several times when trying to cook or use the dishwasher, which was commented in whatsapp with "you used too many devices" (We only tried to cook and had 2 lights on).
When asking for solutions not accusations we were insulted and belittled (we are noone and can only afford this apartment and expect 5Star hotel service)!
Luckily the friendly neighbour helped us find the fuse in the basement.
- Michael (10/5): we were pleased with this stay, it has met our needs for week stay in Florence - location was perfect, elevator presence big plus for us, apartment equipped with all needs not much to share
- Genoveva (10/5): Exceptional - Sabrina was very accommodating. We left some airpods and she delivered them to Rome. Thank you for your hospitality. 😊
- Sacha (9/5): Enjoyed my stay - My stay was comfortable. The bed was comfortable, nice hot shower, little grocery store up the street and they were responsive via WhatsApp to any questions or concerns I had. The apartment was very cold the first night(the heating hadn’t been turned on prior, but they sent someone over to adjust the heating which I appreciated. I would definitely stay again.
- Yi-hsuan (5/5): Passable - Great location! It is easy to explore Florence within walking distance, and the neighbors are safe. The host responded to messages very quickly! The construction noise started at 7:30 am, making it hard to fall asleep in the morning. I texted the host, and it seemed he couldn't do anything to fix the problem.
- Stefka (9/5): I would recommend this place to my friends and if have opportunity to visit Florence again will book the place again! - Great location and the most comfortable bed we slept while in Italy!!!! Surprisingly very quiet during the night! Would be great if there were instructions where to dispose our rubbish. The apartment had dishwasher and washing machine, but no dishwasher tablets and washing machine powder or liquid. We stayed 5 days and we needed to use them, but did not worth to buy these products for one or two loads.
- Yvonne (10/5): Excellent Apartment in a Perfect Location - Central but quiet
Walkable to all the sights
A lift for heavy luggage
Clean and bright with a comfortable bed
Good kitchen facilities although we didn’t get time to use them! Great location off Piazza di Santa Croce but this might be too busy a location for some.
- Justyna (7/5): Good -
- Jackie (10/5): Excellent place to stay with plenty of room! - Great space in this 1 bedroom apt. Very spacious with a kitchenette! Right in the center of Santa Croce Church and piazza! Perfect place! The sofa could be a bit more comfortable, but we put extra comforters on it and it was perfect!
- Jónsdóttir (8/5): All in all a nice stay. Great location and a nice apartment. - It was very well located. It was a nice stay. Consruction work in the next building.
- Isabel (9/5): Good location and a comfortable stay - It was very convenient for our trip! Good location and a lovely place. The bed was so comfortable we slept great everyday! We seemed to have quite a few mosquitoes in the bathroom
- Luis (10/5): Very central comfortable flat , short walking distance to all sights - Location / comfort / cleanliness Nothing
- Agne (8/5): Very good - Location is perfect. There was everything you need for your stay. The time for Check-in is just between 15.00-20.00 and you need to pay extra 50€ for late arrival. It was noisy durring the day because there was reconstruction work upstairs. Cleanliness could be improved, f. e. there was hairs in the fridge....
- Aleksandar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joan (8/5): Great location in an amazing city. - Location was excellent! All of Florence was an easy walk away, but the area was reasonably quiet at night. The gelato shop down the street was amazing and so are the local restaurants. Plan to use the AC if you are there in summer. I had the windows open the first night and the mosquitoes were a problem. Be smarter than me and be clear about when you are arriving. Because I didn't know exactly when I would be there, it took a while for someone to come bring me the keys. On the plus side, the cathedral steps across the street
are a great place to wait with a gelato.
- Hasmik (8/5): Very good -
- Jennifer (10/5): Absolute gem of a city and a great place to stay - The location was amazing! The host was very friendly and the apartment was spotless I actually can’t fine fault , maybe some coffee for the coffee machine would have been nice but I understand it’s self catering so this would be at the hosts discretion.
- Liao (8/5): Very good -
- Fui (5/5): Beautifully renovated unit but we were short changed because we did not get what we paid for! - Location and unit being newly renovated. There was no washing machine in the unit eventhough it was stated in the website that there is one. It was very important item to us since we were travelling light & needed to do laundry daily. Had the most unpleasant experience with a lady named Alexa who managed the checked in. She was finding every opportunity to rip us off! Refused to answer calls when I asked of the missing washing machine. Sent me a whatsapp message to tell me to go out to the streets to do our laundry at Wash & Dry!! When the owner came on the last day & instal the washing machine, he was very apologetic & said that he will talk to the agent to give us a discount for our inconveniences. But, Alexa the agent messaged me that it was "impossible" & no way that she will give us a discount! She even said that she will charge us Euro40/hour if we had to check out late because we needed to do our laundry in the nearby shops before leaving. Basically, we DID NOT get what we paid for & it was impossible to communicate with the Alexa who handled the unit.
