    friendly staff
    good location

    Just a fine choice for a weekend stopover in Florence with reasonable value. The friendly staff always greeted everyone with a smile while taking custom drink orders. Bring your own kitchenware if you plan to cook, as they have limited supplies.

    spacious apartment
    clear instructions
    outdated interior

    great location but needs some updates

    The apartment was spacious and included all necessary utilities. The clear check-in information made our arrival smooth.

    The interior felt a bit outdated.

    friendly staff
    cramped room
    ineffective air conditioning

    Friendly staff were always willing to help.

    Unfortunately, our stay was quite disappointing. The room we booked was not what we expected. it felt cramped and lacked privacy, particularly with two teenagers. The air conditioning was ineffective, making it hard to sleep, and the noise from outside kept us awake. Additionally, the kitchen was shared and lacked basic utensils, which made our stay less comfortable than anticipated.

    charming decor
    welcoming atmosphere
    easy accessibility
    weak shower
    pressure issue

    I loved the charming decor with terracotta floors and Florentine-style furnishings, which created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The accessibility of the hotel made it easy for me to move around comfortably, contributing to a lovely stay.

    The shower pressure could be better.

    spacious room
    clean accommodations
    comfy beds
    low water pressure
    shower issues

    The room was spacious, almost like an apartment. It was clean, and we had enough space for everyone. Comfy beds, though the shower could’ve had better water pressure. Good vibe overall, felt homey. Plus, loved the proximity to everything!

    easy access
    modern room
    great breakfast
    cramped atmosphere

    Easy access to public transport, just a quick stroll to the train station, making travel plans a breeze. Loft-style rooms with kitchen and dining areas added a bit of comfort. Daily breakfast featuring fresh pastries and fruits.

    Finding the entrance can feel like navigating a maze. you're left searching and calling for direction due to lack of signage. The overall atmosphere felt cramped. bedrooms appear outdated, and the shower was incredibly tight, making it uncomfortable for any family. I found the air conditioning weak, and the beds too hard for a restful night. There’s also a very noticeable noise issue, especially from street traffic, which can disrupt your sleep. A heads-up about the cash-only city tax would have been nice as well—unexpected costs are a hassle.

    daily breakfast
    cozy loft
    small kitchen

    Had an amazing four-night stay! Those daily breakfasts were a treat with an array of options. The loft-style room had a cozy vibe. A large fridge to keep our drinks cold. Just a minor note, the photos made the kitchen seem bigger, but things worked out perfectly! I’d definitely come back.

    spacious apartment
    friendly staff
    communal living area
    ineffective air conditioning
    narrow parking entrance

    I stayed for a few nights in an apartment that was spacious and perfect for unwinding after long days exploring the area. The staff was very helpful and friendly, assisting with all my questions. I appreciated the communal living area for downtime away from my room.

    The air conditioning did not work effectively during my visit, and the parking entrance was narrow, which may be a concern for drivers unfamiliar with the area.

    fantastic location
    cozy ambiance
    slow wi-fi
    lackluster service

    The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from the key attractions, and the cleanliness is commendable. However, the Wi-Fi could be improved, being somewhat slow. The ambiance is cozy with a lovely courtyard to relax in after exploring the city. Would recommend it overall!
