This location is perfect. There was market right outside and it had so many good things to buy from locals. It was a close walk to the cathedral in Florence. The room was also so big and the beds were comfy and the bathroom was so big my girlies and I all got ready in it. The host was also super friendly and responsive and the check in instructions were so detailed which made for an easy and smooth check in. Definitely would want to stay here again.

The place is decent, centrally located.
If you are looking for a place to stay for a night or two in the central Florence and don’t mind to go to your private bathroom to another floor, it is a good choice.
Walking distance from all shops and main city attractions. Very safe. You can hear all the noise from people going in and out since it’s an old structure but very secure and easy to get to everywhere within walking distance. Nice RR and great AC.

Upon arriving at the residence, the outer door code did not work. Neither did the inner door code. Also, the instructions were finding the key in the black box were not accurate as the key was not in the box. We wound up calling the emergency number and the person that answered gave us completely different codes than what was provided to me via email from accessing the property. No hot water.
The piazza in which this hotel was in was very dirty we arrived at night and there were young people all over hanging out drinking and smoking all over, felt unsafe and was noisy
This “accommodation” rating is below a 2 star hostel. So much potential but the condition it is now is poor. Stains on blankets in closet, Coffee or liquor stains on walls at night table. Shower overflowed but we managed to keep it under control. Absolutely no support if using a CAN cell w eSIM. Can’t dial out. Should be noted in their ad.
The place overall was just ok. It’s in a good close location to major points of Florence. I didn’t find it particularly clean we found hairs on pillows and on the sheets. Rooms are configured differently and our bathroom was downstairs in a basement space that was accessed via common stairs. It was spacious and clean with a jetted tub. None of that seems evident in the posting. Also not sure what they mean by listing breakfast as an amenity. The site is not staffed and check in was was multi step process. Likely won’t pick this place if I return to Florence.
This was not a great place to stay, very dirty shoeprints on ceiling totally worn out not at all what was on photos. Wifi did not work, there is a sculpture class and rave literally 5 feet outside the window, barely any hot water and no staff to help. When we ran out of toilet paper there was none either. This is a catfish hotel, never again!

Location excellent. No safe in the room. No plug in the sink. Sliding door of wardrobe kept falling off runner. Difficult to get in first door of building. Had to ring a number and heard something recorded in Italian, but still couldn’t access first door. Luckily managed to follow a resident inside and then the access was fine.
My phone this is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at due to the customer service or maybe lack thereof of a customer service and more. Just a service. Everything I reported, I was asked to prove from the lack of amenities to the fact the bathroom had no soap in it. Obviously not been cleaned since the toilet was dirty upon arrival. I would never stay here again for the price as you are overpaying. There are other locations in the area that are most likely cleaner and more convenient.
The check-in location is 10 minutes away from your actual hotel where if you don't arrive in that 4-Hour window then you have to pay an extra 30. And the fact I can send screenshots of the amenities I was told I was going to receive and then say we still don't provide those. Sorry and not received anything from the hotel left me flabbergasted. In my room for two people I only received one cup to drink out of. It's the little things like this that lets me know that they are in it or the money. It almost seems like a scam at the end of the day since there's no ventilation in the bathrooms either
El lugar estuvo limpio, desafortunadamente hay algunos servicios indispensables que no hay, como por ejemplo no tienes jabón ni shampoo para baño, no hay limpieza diaria de la habitación y si vas con familia ir al baño a un piso diferente es algo incómodo, no estuvo mal pero si hay cosas necesarias que deberían implementar.
No lo aconsejo ya que las habitaciones son muy muy simples mal olor, la persona con la que tuvimos contacto muy grosera, no la recomiendo. El cafe muy corriente. No me gusto nada.
Odeur de moisi nous avons du parfumer la chambre et les salles de bains. De plus, la salle de bain n’est pas dans la chambre elle est séparé et en bas de la chambre donc pendant la nuit il faut prendre des escaliers pour se rendre aux toilettes si nous avons une envie. Ensuite il y avait des sans abris et des gens qui se droguais et buvait des 21h devant la porte d’entrée ce qui était délicat pour nous.
Nous ne recommencerons pas d’autres visite à cette endroit et nous ne le recommandons pas

not very happy
the hotel is at a central place. but difficult to make check in even i am comfortable with similar things. not a good isolation of noise. There were mosquitos inside and dead ones on the walls. Air condition works but can only heat itsself. Everything was old the room. was not a great place
Não era o que eu imaginva quando reservei, mas a experiencia foi positiva. Não existe recpção, não tem serviço de quarto, é praticamente um AirBnB.
Extremamente bem localizado e limpo. O atendimento da recepção foi bem ruim.
gute Lage, großer Raum mit hohen Decken und auch großes Bad mit großer Dusche und großem Whirlpool. Abschreckend finde ich, daß man den Schlüssel ganz woanders abholen muß. Das geht heute auch anders.
