    Perfect spot for 3 women, better than the pictures. The room was more spacious than it looked online, with one double bed and one twin bed. Kitchen facilities were available in the room if needed (we didn't use them) and the bathroom was a good size to share. But the best part was really the hosts - very warm, welcoming, and flexible, they kept our bags after checkout and were very responsive via the Booking messenger for check-in. Location was super central and just a short walk to Santa Maria Novella.

    Location is very convenient, about 10 minutes walk from the train station. Stefania the host is very friendly and kind, she accommodated our early check in and allowed us to leave the luggage after check out the next day. The room has complete amenities, there is a small stove with complete utensils, fridge and she also provided some small pastries for breakfast. Overall it was a very pleasant stay!

    This was the perfect way to experience Florence and really take in the culture. The room was adorable and Stephanie was an excellent hostess. She really thought of everything from cold bottles of water and small bites in the fridge to a shower cap and small toiletries in the restroom. Every day the bed was made and the room straightened. She even placed a plate on the table for a croissant I had in a bag and placed our toiletries in nice cups in the restroom. It was over 100 this week and the AC was fantastic in our room and kept it cool and comfortable. The location was perfect to walk to everything and it’s so close to the train station making it easy to come and go. The beds were very comfy too. This room was adorable and even my teen son loved it. The restroom is not attached but it’s private and locked so we didn’t mind. Stephanie even has robes in the wardrobe. The shower was so wonderful. It had three different heads, a rain shower, a hand held, and a wall mounted rain head. 10/10! I would definitely stay here again. The pictures don’t do it justice.

    There is a lot of noise at night. We had trouble sleeping. The bed was a little uncomfortable.

    The size of the room was larger than expected. The location was 5 minutes from the train station. Cleanliness was ok but can be overlooked as it is an old apartment.

    We would prefer to have an in-suite toilet but considering the B&B setting (and it was mentioned in their ad) and the character of the house - it's not really a big deal.

    We like the homey atmosphere of Lucretia House. Our hosts, Stefania and Franco were so gracious and allowed us to check in earlier than the appointed time. We appreciate the thoughfulness and attention to detail by the hosts like providing bath robes, snacks, extra pillows, maps, reading materials and giving clear and thorough instructions on basic stuff. The room is clean and orderly. Near the train station.

    A comfortable property close to all main tourists attractions and managed by a great host!

    The people around the property was so loud at nights, especially on the Friday and Saturday. There weren't many bars around the property so we were confused, but English speaking tourists were yelling and sharing their intimate stories until 4 am in the morning (both nights). I wore silicon ear plugs but they weren't enough. It's not property's fault, so I did not deduct any points for it. However, beware if you are a light sleeper.

    1) The host was very accommodating, helpful, response, and kind. He was always around to help us. 2) The room was spacious enough for three and clean. The kitchen was practical enough for us to brew tea and have breakfast. There was enough storage for our stuff. 3) The location for getting around is amazing. The property is close to the train station and all the touristic destinations.

    Toilet flush button had to be “pumped” (pressed several times) to work. But it always DID work ;-p Lucretia House Hotel on a street with not much vehicle traffic, but overnight it got noisy when a steady stream of loud young people were heading to a nearby popular disco. (Noise muffled when I closed the windows).

    More of a ‘locanda’ than a hotel (i.e. no reception desk or lobby) but ideal for me — room with well-stocked little kitchenette, a.c., comfortable bed, table and chairs, wardrobe, tv, small but modern bathroom. Spotlessly clean and well-maintained. Hosts friendly, helpful, and very kind. One flight up, but host carried my suitcase upstairs so that was no problem. Good central location. On the corner is popular Ostaria 100 Poveri recommended by host, delicious and an incredible bargain.

    My second stay at this charming private guest room; I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The location is close by to the main train station, not too far to walk into the historic centre, nor is it too far to walk anywhere e.g. across the river etc. The room has everything you need plus more, there is detail in the provision e.g. light bites for breakfast (at no charge), some kitchen ware, umbrella available, everything is well considered. Stephania is a beautiful hostess and along with her husband they are most gracious in ensuring your comfort. There is definitely pride taken in considering guest's comfort and convenience. Communication is excellent. You are given a thorough orientation to everything in the room. Hot water is plentiful and no interruption with wi fi Bed is comfortable and the pillows are great! Privacy and security is also excellent.

    A comfortable little apartment not far from all the sights of Florence.

    The apartment was perfect. There was a little street noise late into the night on one evening - but you could still sleep and ignore it. The owner gave us a good recommendation for a local cafe. We hadn't been to Florence before and would have been happy to be offered more recommendations (such as good restaurants, location of local supermarket).

    This was a lovely experience staying in Lucretia house. The owner was very kind and welcoming, and for a fairly small space it had everything you could need. Comfortable beds, a small stovetop for cooking a meal or making coffee, some breakfast items, a table and chairs, and a nice bathroom with a good shower. Location was excellent, only a short walk to the main sights, and just a block away from the river. Great cafes and restaurants nearby, and 5 mins walk to train station too. There are stairs up to the apartment (first floor) but we managed fine with our bags.

    It was a bit tight for us only because we were travelling with our toddler so we had an extra bed in the room and two large suitcases.

    Nice, clean apartment in a good location. You can easily walk to all places of interest or the train station. The host was friendly, informative and accommodating. Even though breakfast is not included they still provided bread, cakes and yoghurt. There's a laundromat right next door. The room is well insulated from the noise and is air-conditioned.
