Good location but too many access codes keys and procedures to follow. They keys could be labelled.
Check in process was a bit convoluted Otherwise it was ok
Very good location and reasonable price for where it is situated, but the amount of mosquitoes in the property was unbearable. We did not spend a minute more in the property than we needed to and slept with mosquito repellent on. TV remote did not work either.
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.
Would not stay here again. All I wanted to do was check in at check in time and my room was over an hour late after traveling for 30+ hours. The staff was not apologetic at all and offered no solution to my room not being on time besides to wait. Bathroom also had hair everywhere and room had a weird smell to it.

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.
The only good thing about it was that it was clean. We had to walk a considerable distance from one place to another just to check in. They also charged an extra 30 euros for late check-in. The location is terrible; the area is full of homeless people and people drinking. There is absolutely no soundproofing. It was definitely a bad experience.
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.
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.
Check in is difficult. It’s very inconvenient process.

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 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

Bellissima la posizione, un po scomoda la camera con il bagno fuori dalla camera e al piano di sotto
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.
