    The only downside was the breakfast voucher for Rivoire - we received it in the room, but after ordering 2 coffees and 2 croissants, we still had to pay an extra €12. It might be better to have breakfast elsewhere.

    The accommodation is in a fantastic location, right in the city center and within walking distance to all the main attractions. After check-out, we were able to leave our luggage in the building, which was very convenient and allowed us to enjoy the city without dragging our bags around before our train. Vanesa, the host, was very kind and helpful throughout our stay.

    Everything was great but the room probably needs a deep clean. Small amount of old dirt on ceilings with a slight smell to the room but not bad enough that it caused any issues.

    The host Vanesa was amazing - so kind and helpful! There are also great amenities here with a shared kitchen, washing machine, iron, fridge, etc. The room was small and simple but just what we needed for 2 nights in Florence. The location was perfect, so easy to walk to everywhere you need to go in Florence!

    It was all fine

    The Owner Vanessa met us when we arrived and introduced us to the property and gave us suggestions of where to eat in Florence We received vouchers to go for coffee and pastry at a local restaurant for breakfast. The property is right at the heart of the tourist attractions and close to the Ponte Vecchio bridge to cross to the other side of the river. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Not a lot to dislike about this apartment! The only thing I can say is the drains in the bathroom possibly need cleaning. When showering it doesn’t drain properly and pools in the bottom and the smell from the bathroom when the exhaust fan isn’t turned on gets quite bad.

    Upon entry the lobby area was spotless and smelt very clean. The owner Vanessa was lovely to deal with and so very helpful! Our room was spotless and very clean when we checked in. Very spacious room, the bed is very comfortable along with comfortable sheets. Amenities such as communal kitchen, washing machine available. Private kettle and tea/ coffee available in apartment room.

    In a really great location, not far from the train station, and in the cultural centre. You can step out of the door and you are in the middle of everything. Yet, it is a quiet side street so you are not disturbed at night. Clean and comfortable, it’s has what you need and communication with the host Dafne was great. Perfect!

    Bathroom door was squeaky, bed was a bit squeaky.

    Room looked out over il porcellino and the market. We opened the window to listen to a busker singing opera. Really quiet with the window closed. Also had a washing machine in the common area.

    We loved everything best stay in Florence! If we could recommend something for a better stay it would be: - The bed maybe a more modern one - The shower maybe make it so it doesn’t wet all the bathroom But OVERALL it is AMAZING!

    The location is AMAZING, Vanessa was great and responded always, the property is complete - renovated and clean - it also has a washing machine and a kitchen to share, it was super helpful for us!! Was a pleasure to stay here

    Foyer of property very dark and quite hard to go up 4 flights of stairs in the dark. Foyer also had quite a pungent smell. These did not impact the actual room or the common areas where we stayed but did detract from the overall experience.

    Centrally located, clean and comfortable, good size bathroom. Property has communal kitchen and laundry facilities which were a godsend. Property also had a lift to make moving bags up 4 levels much easier.

    The main building hallway was very dark at night. I had to use a flashlight while carrying heavy luggage. Finding room 5 was challenging/could use some signage on the door to the kitchen to help. Also some instructions on how to exit the 4th floor doors from inside would be helpful as I had no idea how to get out. The kitchen was lovely and super clean, but didn’t have any plates or cups so made it unusable. My bed was comfortable but VERY squeaky. The shower curtain hooks got stuck at lot and made it hard to adjust the curtain. The floor got very very wet during a shower which used up towels quickly - a better shower curtain and hooks would help with this.

    Location was perfect!! Was great to have laundry. Very quiet and clean. Overall a great place to stay, would definitely stay again!

    4pm check-in is a bit late compared to usual standards, especially when you arrive on an early flight, but the hotel has a storage luggage so it's quite convenient!

    Couldn't ask for a better location, not too far from the main train station and walking distance from all the main attractions. Also, Vanessa has been a fantastic host, accommodating requests and available on both WhatsApp and booking chat!

    Nice and super central room to explore Florence as a couple

    with a central location comes noise and one is always surrounded by intense (and sometimes reckless) tourists. Also, the elevator was a little rusty, and the door jammed on our way out once. But that is a minor thing in an old and beautiful building

    Can't get more central in Florence than this apartment. Everything is easily accessible. Perfect for a short stay as a couple. Room was comfortable and clean!
