    Very good location close to the centre of Florence but not too crowded with lots of restaurant options on the street. Host was very accommodating when we made a last minute change to our booking and was very nice and helpful!!! Highly recommended staying here.

    This place was really great. The host was amazing and also very helpful when we needed a doctor. The room and shared bathroom was very clean. They did some basic cleaning during the day while we were out. There was a kitchen with all the basic necessities, aswell as a washing machine. Location was great. Would definitely stay here again :)

    The room was spacious and comfortable. There was a double bed, a desk, chair, a wardrobe, a small sofa and an entire bathroom with a shower, toilet, bidet. The location could not be any better. It is situated 3 min away from the train station (Firenze SMN) and 10 min walk from the Dome/City center. The street is full with restaurants, bars, ice cream places, souvenir shops, a few small grocery stores. The hop-on-hop-off bus stop is 3 min away on foot. The central market is 2 min away. The guesthouse is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift so be careful if you’re travelling with big sized luggages. 63 steps.

    Can't think of anything.

    This was a great place to stay. The host communicated expertly and gave clear instructions on how to reach the property. We received a brief and helpful orientation when we arrived. The location is prime--just a few blocks from the Firenze Santa Maria Novella station, and on one of the less noisy streets for this popular part of town. Our room faced the back of the property, overlooking a quiet courtyard/parking area that included several trees. There is a handy common area with coffee, tea, and a spot to do cooking and wash laundry if needed (there is also a laundromat down the street if you want to wash and dry several loads). Everything was clean--room, bathroom, and common area. The room had a comfortable bed with cozy linens, and the huge bath towels provided were a nice touch. The bathroom seemed to be recently renovated and had a great shower. In all, the whole experience went well, and I highly recommend this property and its host.

    The stairs access. Small price to pay. Worth the effort :)

    Host was incredibly helpfull. Map of the area, recommendations, even lending an umbrella for the rain. The room was well prepared, clean and the bed was comfortable. Even if the bathroom was shared, never had a problem using it when needed.

    Wasn’t a problem for us but the staircase to the Accomodation might be tough for people with reduced mobility.

    Everything. Location was fantastic, right in the city centre very close to the Duomo. Roble was incredible, super helpful, lent us his umbrella for 3 days, let us keep our luggage almost the entire day after checkout, gave us suggestions, he was amazing.

    The stairs were a killer, it’s on the top floor with no lift so if you have a suitcase be prepared.

    Amazing location, with an amazing host who gave us great restaurant recommendations. We had a room with a shared bathroom, which was always super clean. Access to a washing machine which was great, kitchen facilities were also great. Great value for money

    Nothing in particular

    Impeccable. The host was very friendly and accommodating, the house was very clean, the room I stayed in was perfect (and smelt really good), and the bed was very comfortable. The air conditioning was a real bonus during my summer stay! I highly recommend it and hope to return for another trip to Florence!
