Guest Reviews

• Guest (10/5): un endroit comme on aime - Tout.Des gens gentils Rien
• Patrycja (10/5): Wszystko super - Miły gospodarz, przyjemna okolica z dala od zatłoczonego centrum ale dobrze skomunikowana (tramwaj).
• Valérie (8/5): Excellent accueil et excellent séjour - Proche du Tramway pour le centre de Florence, et de la gare, et du supermarché Esselunga pour acheter nos petits déjeuners à manger dans le parc a côté Grande chambre, lit très confortable, climatisation 😍😍 Douche avec peu de pression et eau qui met du temps à chauffer, mais c'est bien le seul petit souci à reporter Peut être je voudrais suggérer de proposer un petit étendoir à linge
• Anonimo (8/5): -
• LAM (10/5): Excelente - La atención de Marco excelente, el hospedaje estaba limpio y en buenas condiciones. En la llegada estuvo pendiente y respondió en todo momento. Muy recomendado. Esta cerca al aeropuerto que para nosotros era un plus porque el vuelo era muy temprano. Nada
• Serena (10/5): Great deal! - Posizione eccellente! Proprietario fantastico, molto gentile e disponibile. Camera pulita e spaziosa.
• Boban (6/5): -
• Nena (10/5): -
• Katarína (8/5): - Great location, 15 minutes by tram to Santa Maria Novella station. Free parking on the street. Close to supermarket. Mosquito nets on the windows and balcony. There was a dining room with plates, glasses and the fridge (only thing we missed was salt). We had many mosquitous in the room, because our room was separated from the hallway just by the curtain above the door.
• Maciej (8/5): -
• Stefano (8/5): -
• Elisabeth (9/5): - La taille des chambres et salle de bain, l'emplacement le calme, la gentillesse de l'hôtel, la clim.
• Bertram (9/5): Clean and helpful. - The apartment was clean and orderly. The host was helpful with our delayed train. Convenient to the airport.
• Yogita (8/5): Value for money stay - Its clean and quite Its quite far from main road. Difficult to find
• Dan (7/5): Good -
• Rebekka (7/5): Nice comfortable stay. - Location was excellent and beds comfortable. Good value for money. Had to change rooms and the window in the second room was left open so there were a lot of mosquitos in the night. Also check in closes very early which was not convenient for us.
• Erol (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ruggiero (8/5): Very good -
• Lucilayne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kathryn (9/5): Would stay here again. Clean and welcoming. - It felt like a family home, very welcoming. Hard to communicate, but google translate worked well.
• Pacortes (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paula (9/5): The room space and cleanness was very good. - I really liked the room, it was clean and big. The bathroom was very nice and also the beds were comfortable.. It's 20 minutes far from the city, we already knew that but the transportation in the city is not always on time.
• Zatoushevsky (8/5): Very good - Green 💚 areas around and nice balcony
• Shubham (10/5): Exceptional - The property was nearby Firenze S.N. Station so it was easy for us to reach other places The room had a weird smell like they were closed from quite a few time
• Indira (8/5): Very good - Very clean and comfortable room. Close to the airport The area is under development, so there is not much to do around within walking distance
• Carlos (2/5): Disappointed - It was clean The location is not ideal, as it is very far from the city, and public transportation at night is terrible. It is a very isolated area, and it feels a little scary to walk from the bus stop to the house at night. Communication with the host is poor and rude. You cannot communicate by phone or WhatsApp, only through the "Booking.com" chat. Check-in is only available until 7:30 p.m. In our case, we had an issue arriving in Florence on time, which made our stay a disaster, as the host was extremely rude in their communication with us.
• Monica (10/5): Exceptional - The host is very friendly and helpful. The apartment is located in a quiet and beautiful area, not far from tram station and shops. The space is very clean, they cleaned our room after the first night, although we only booked for 2 nights. It's a very good place to stay in beautiful Florence.
• Tammy (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was okay Nothing
• Natalie (7/5): Basic room but fine for a night - Reasonable sized room with bathroom located just next door. Beds not the most comfortable but fine for the one night Quite difficult to locate based on the Booking.com directions. A little farther out from Florence than we anticipated
• Ana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tibor (9/5): Superb - The bathroom! It was huge! The terrace is quit big. The rooms are nice, and the beds is very comfortable. Far away the center.
• Hannah (6/5): Convenient location out of the city. - Great location 5 minute walk from tram stop then 15 minutes into the city, quiet area with great supermarket. Good wifi and shared fridge. Shared balcony. Water tap was only in shared bathroom.
• Jayasinghe (1/5): Not happy will not go again - Nothing In the booking .com it wad mentioned as a apartment however when we were at the site it was a BNB, the owner was so rude and he was staying with us the whole time and it was so uncomfortable . He did not allow us to use the Kitchen and other facilities mentioned on bookjng .com
• Stefanelli (7/5): Good -
• Yong (7/5): Good -
• Sivaganesh (9/5): Superb - Facilities were Good. Mr. Marco allowed us to keep the luggages from 11 am itself. It is easily reachable by Tram T2, but, it is the only reliable and cheap transport. Takes 20 minutes to reach Novala Regione tram stop from Florence SMN. In night times it will be difficult to reach except with taxi. No nearby shops.
• Gwenda (8/5): Good for a short stay! - The location was good 8 minutes walk to the tramway that takes you to the center (the apartment is not located in the city center) The room was big, clean and had a private bathroom, we had towels and there was hot water. There is a common room where u can eat. The owner was so nice he told us where to eat and recommended some restaurants. There is also a huge supermarket very near called Esselunga You will have to be aware that you share the apartment with 2 or 3 other rooms but we did not see the people. But since the walls are so thin you could hear everything even of the people were talking really low. So if you are looking for long sleeps and not being awaken early it is a risk. Another thing is that when you reach the location on your first day there are no indications on how to enter the building, in fact you only have to ring the interphone on the MEL button
• Demetrio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yuan (8/5): Nice owner, comfort room, free coffee is good. Good location with free parking & T2 station is near - Nice owner, comfort room, free coffee is good. Good location with free parking and T2 line station is in a short walking distance. shower water is not big enough
• Vusal (10/5): Great - The room was clean, there were additional blankets and private bathroom. Everything was the same with photo. The host was very nice and helpful, even let us keep our luggage there till the evening.
• Ranik (9/5): I recommend:) - Everything Was like on the pictures. Clean in the bathroom and room. It was possible to drink perfect espresso in the morning :) very nice owner. It was cold in the room in the evening.
• Polina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marcin (10/5): Exceptional - Nice room and bathroom:) wonderfull host:) Enerything was ok
• Francesca (9/5): A clean and friendly bed & breakfast, strategically located in an area of the city well connected - A clean and friendly bed & breakfast, strategically located in an area of the city well connected with the city center-
• Sebastian (9/5): Superb -
• Amey (8/5): Pleasant stay - It was clean and it had rooms. Bathroom was tidy. Was cleaned regularly. Very close to the tram station and bus station if you want to go to city centre (Santa Maria novella) Our stay was pleasant and Marco even accommodated us with an early check in on request None
• Lorenzo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nikolaos (9/5): Superb - Exceptional wifi! We were offered coffe and some basic cooking facilitties
• Damyan (5/5): Passable -
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - People are so good and the property was clean really enjoyed my stay nothing
• Kelsey_wight (9/5): Perfect for quick access to Florence's airport. - Very close to the airport metro stop (5 min walk). Comfy beds. Free wifi. Quiet part of the city. The door in my room was difficult to lock.
• Corrie (8/5): Very good - The balcony. Spacious. Glasses was locked away forcing us to drink from jam jars.
• Domingo (5/5): Passable -
• Ana (6/5): Meh - Good location, perfect if you just want to drop your bags and go. The host sent us a message at 11 at night threatening to sue us if we didn’t pay the tourist tax. We were always going to pay it, just didn’t have cash when we got in. He was rude when we gave him the money
• Phoebe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ahmed (6/5): Pleasant -
• Wojciech (8/5): Very good - Very good and friendly service. Clean and tidy room. Public transport very close and cheap. Highly recommended.
• Mikki (9/5): Superb - Very clean. Spacious room and bathroom.
• Tomáš (8/5): Very good - The room is actually located in the apartment where the owner also lives, but everything was completely without problems and clean. You can use common areas including a refrigerator (there is no refrigerator in the room). The positive is that you can reach the center of Florence in about 15 minutes, and there is also a supermarket nearby
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claire (10/5): Cute rooms in nice quiet neighborhood well connected to the center - Spacious, perfectly clean, confortable, balcony, really nice quiet residential neighborhood well connected to the center, and one of the cheapest options It was perfect!
• Yotso (8/5): Very good -
• Emirhan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tatiana (6/5): Pleasant - I needed a parking, it was one of very few that had a free parking at that time Unfortunately Mattresses are very uncomfortable ( we had a back pain the next day
• Agnieszka (10/5): I would recommend staying there, especially if you are looking for cheaper, more local vibe - I liked the overall accommodation with the dinning area, beautiful view and a nice coffee in the morning. The price was also very reasonable!
• Juliet (7/5): Good if your looking for something cheap - Goood value for money - close to tram which takes you into the centre. Room was spacious and clean Could have a sink in the communal area
• Greyling (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - The owner was super polite easygoing and helpful. Rooms were absolutely clean and even left something to protect against mosquitoes. Coffee to drink and the eating area was spotless. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I need more stars to leave in this comment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Oleg (7/5): Good - relatively clean, neat to the tram station, sunny room quite rude personal, no one speaks any English, loud doors not allowing you to sleep in the morning
• Voyageur (10/5): Easy to reach by tram from the train station. A peek at how real Italians live! - The owner's directions were very helpful in getting me to the location. It is a fairly simple tram ride from the train station, and then a walk of about 2 blocks. I really liked having the Esselunga supermarket nearby as well as a laundry (as I had a bunch of stinky, wet clothes from my first 1.5 wks in Italy...) One can also see all of the locals on their passegiata walking their dogs in a nearby park during the evening. The building houses many apartments, so this is a chance to see how real Italians live! I was very much reminded me of an apartment building I lived in Barcelona many years ago... but this was here in Florence, Italy. In some ways it felt like coming home! In any case, my room was quite large... and it was a great location for me to rest up (as I believe I had overdone things over the previous few days of my trip in Italy.) The bathroom was in the hall.. and then I could make use of the common dining area which had a refrigerator. That was a godsend! The entire location was exceptionally clean. The building was quiet and the neighborhood was quiet as well. I am very glad I found this place. Very reasonable and, thankfully, far away from the hordes of tourists around the Duomo... and, boy! Hordes there were! None. I really appreciated everything.
• Patricia (7/5): Good - Near tram T2 to downtown and bus stops, a big supermarket and restaurants. Well-equiped bathroom. The beds were too soft for our preference. No sink to wash our dishes. Only a microwave, a fridge and a coffee maker.
• Cynthia (9/5): I recommend this for people who want a great deal, want to be a bit out of the center. - My room had a balcony and private bathroom. It was comfortable and was in a building with gardens. It was about a 350 meter walk to the Tram 2 which takes you directly to Florence's center/train station. There was also a couple of restaurants, supermarket, and launderette within walking distance. I liked being out of the center and being among the locals. I had access to a frig and coffee maker so I had all I need. Nothing
• Pereira (8/5): Very good - The room was big, clean, and silent. The toilet was good with individual products. Coffee included. The staff was polite. The toilet it was not private
• Rajeev (7/5): Good -
• Ionel-cristian (7/5): Good -
• Novikova (10/5): Exceptional - Clean room, quiet big for 4 people, parking is in the street, but space was enough. To find the place was a bit difficult, but the owner explained everything and no problem. He answered quickly
• Peter (9/5): Clean ,secure apartment room close to T2 tram line from airport to city centre - Lovely clean and secure apartment room with a good private bathroom and access to communal area with fridge The owner was very helpful and friendly for easy check in. Last communal apartment block No.8 from the road. Street parking but quiet and lots of possible free spaces. Less than 5 minutes walk to the Tram 2 line - you can walk straight through (by the shops) (T2 - airport to the end of line city stop - Unita) (€1.50 for 90 mins use every 5 minutes) Buy tickets at the machine at the tram stop but always auto stamp your ticket on the tram or risk a fine! Once you find the correct apartment block (2,4,6,and No.8) only a single buzzer of many with only MEL included in the buzzer name to indicate which apartment. Obvious ..but only when you know it
• Peter (9/5): Superb - See previous review. 2nd night of our stay
• Mikaela (1/5): awful!!!! - nothing that was the worst property I ever booked. First, we haven’t received check in details in advance, when we arrived we had to wait for like 15mins to the owner to open for us, then he didn’t even text us at which floor the apartment is. He doesn’t speak any English which made the communication impossible. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I ever slept. It was extremely noisy during the whole night. There were mosquitoes in the bedroom and we weren’t able to sleep at all. I guess that the owner lives there because the whole property smell like kitchen.
• Sweta (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. It's approximately 3km from the centre.
• Borru (6/5): Pleasant -
• Evelina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matic (7/5): Good -
• Mairi (3/5): Poor - The facilities were great. Bathroom and room were perfect for what we required. 5min walk from the tram stop. The customer service was very poor! Due to this I wouldn't consider returning. We had more than one issue with the customer service and the attitude was stinking!
• Paige (5/5): Passable - Very quiet! Far from Distric 1
• Elina (8/5): Very good -
• Agata (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bellemonde (3/5): much to be improved - decent neighborhood, not touristy. to strictly forbid customers taking food into their room sometimes mean their luggage are separated between breakfast room and bed room, making things unnecessarily difficult.
• Łukasz (9/5): Everything was great - The room was spacious and clean with a private bathroom and a big tarrace. The bed was comfortable and the ac worked. Good value for money especially in Italy.
• Akshaya (9/5): Superb -
• Verified traveler (6/5): Older building - Breakfast was not provided for us. Because it is an older building, charging was quite difficult even with an adaptor. Additionally, the doors opened and closed quite loudly.
• Trent (8/5): - Friendly owner, clean room and bath room, hot water was difficult to work, would stay again.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 아파트,주차장없고,조식별로,모기많고 화장실이 따로있음.
• Ross (10/5): - Very helpful and really nice owner Close to tram/bus routes Nice to place to stay - great value
