Reviews of Il Gatto Con Gli Stivali - Affittacamere

The host was very anxious to make sure we were happy. There was a bowl of fresh fruit in the fridge, and he explained how to get to some of the tourist sites.

The apartment was at the top of 3 flights of stairs.

Good quiet location, spacious apartment as in the photos, good value for money. The owner is also very friendly and helpful.

The host was very helpful, made a great effort to communicate with us, gave us great recommendations, was honest and sensible. Although the building looks old, the apartment is very comfortable, has air conditioning, TV, an iron, washing machine, a dehumidifier in the bathroom, a fully furnished kitchen, and windows with mosquito protection. It is very safe as well.

THE BUILDING HAS NO ELEVATOR. It is not the owner's fault, but take it into account before renting. The shower space is tiny, so make sure you are flexible enough to wash yourself without bending over. Location is somewhat far from downtown, although it's easy to get there by public transport.

Florence is definitely one of my favourite cities! Near the studio we rented there is a bus stop, tram, but you can easily walk to the train station and the city centre. The host, a particularly kind and friendly man , gave us countless information. He even called a travel agency for us and booked us on a day trip to Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. And if that wasn't enough, he picked us up in his car and took us to admire Florence from piazzale Michelangelo and the Abazzia di San Miniato al Monte. We'll happily return to Florence, especially since I know where we'll be staying.

The owner was very friendly and hospitable.

My partner and I had an amazing stay here. The welcome from the host was wonderful, he and his wife were so friendly. We were given lots of tips and recommendations for what to do, where to eat and how to get around. We wanted to do a tour of some smaller towns/cities in Tuscany and the host was incredibly helpful - he phoned the company for us and found us the perfect tour for a great price (we were rather picky!). The room itself was lovely, it had everything we needed for our stay and more. The kitchenette was very well equipped, there was a washing machine (for which we were given detergent pods), the bed was very comfortable, the AC worked well and the WiFi was strong (good enough to stream smoothly). The location was great for us, away from the busy centre but very easy to get to anywhere you need. Most things are within walking distance but we used the bus quite a bit. The stop is so close to the apartment and the host gave us plenty of help on which bus would take us to where we wanted to go. This was an excellent place to stay, and the kindness and help from the hosts made it all the more enjoyable and memorable! Definitely stay here if you are visiting Florence.

Everything was great!

This place had everything we expected--mini kitchenette in the room, comfortable bed, small outdoor patio, and little touches like coffee grounds, fruit for breakfast, detergent pods, etc. We were greeted by Mr. Piacenti upon our arrival and he spent an hour going over all of the details of the place, showing us a map of Florence with recommendations on what to see and how to get there, and recommended local restaurants and grocery stores. The place is 2 mins walk from the nearest grocery store, and is fairly accessible to the city center by bus or tram.

It was definitely nice to have the kitchenette for cooking small meals and snacks, but I would not expect to be able to cook a large meal simply given the size (it is in a cupboard in the wall), and only one of the two burners gets hot enough to really cook on it. It is not professionally managed--more like an intimate and authentic experience. We did have some trouble with the laundry machine and it took a couple of days to get directions

Lovely owner who gave great recommendations on where to purchase quality leather and local meals Gave us a map with direction on where to go and what buses to catch Provided us with breakfast snacks and fruit Full functioning kitchen and fridge. Allowed us to check out 30 minutes later with no Hassle Internet worked well and great aircon

Great apartment, cozy and clean, great location away from the crowd yet very central, and the host is lovely! We will come back.

Nothing

The owner was very friendly, provided lots of info and answered all the questions. He even sold some bus tickets we needed. The bus stop was quite near the property, buses running very often. We could reach all the places we needed by bus. The apartment was quite big and convenient.

charmingly Florentine Italian

The apartment is on the third floor with no elevators. The very small kitchen has very little pots and pans, which are not clean. Overall our expereince was very bad and I won't recommend this place to anyone.

there was plenty of hot water.

The wardrobe was falling apart as were the draws. The kitchen area is in a unit which is also falling apart and there is no where to put things if you are cooking. The shower falls off the wall and more than once fell on both of us. The bed is 2 singles put together, not a double and is very uncomfortable indeed. We both felt that it was not very clean and in need of refurbishing. The host is a very nice guy and he is very friendly. The room is cheap but, no matter what you pay, the accommodation should be fit for purpose.

Two separate rooms for parents and kids Washer and dryer imwas quite usuful. Just need to bring a small batch of detergent.

The location is too near to take a bus, but a bit far to walk from the train station. We ended up taking the bus everytime we went out. The kitchen could be little more clean, but very usable.

Everything

Nothing

Florence was definitely a beautiful city. Very busy though and quite expensive. Pisa and siena were lovely and train and bus travel easy.

Whilst not expecting 5 star accommodation, I would describe it as adequate for our needs. It was clean enough, but furnished with an eclectic mix of furniture, linen and furnishings. The folding bathroom door did come apart, but was patched up by the owner the following day.

One of the best hotel/apartments i have been so far. Great location and a super apartments. The owners is very friendly and really helpful showing us main attractions of Firenze and stores. Il Gatto Con Gli Stivali - is my go to hotel in Firenze from now on.
