We arrived at the building at 7pm, we needed a code to access the building which we were not given. Luckily another person who was staying in the building was able to let us in. When we did access our room, there was no key fob attached to our key, which meant we couldn’t leave the building until the owner sent us a code. We didn’t see anyone in reception while we stayed. The room was clean and has a hair dryer. However, both nights we stayed there were groups of men outside the building shouting until early hours of the morning. This was quite intimidating to us as we are two young girls, it made us not want to leave the building after it became dark. The bathrooms were clean ish however lots of hair. Fan only works when the light is on. Location however was ideal, 15 minutes from train station and very close to city centre! Overall wouldn’t stay again.

Lovely place to stay. Having no Lift was a bit of a problem for us as the stairs to the appartment were a bit steep and then the second set of stairs to our room were even steeper. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location, not far from anything.

It was the best time I've ever had.
The hotel staff lady was warm and welcoming.
It was a great meeting! They were kind to us from Japan.
I would like to use this hotel again when I go back to Florence!
Thank you for seeing me off on the last day!

Great location, poor experience
The good:
It’s all about the location. You are in the middle of everything, literally. The room was large enough and the ceilings are really high! Large windows. You feel like you are a part of the history. Tons of dining options near by. If you need to leave your luggage and wonder around the city and then come back and pick it up later - that’s an option. That’s about it.
The bad:
Ok, that’s huge - NOISY! Extremely noisy environment caused by tourists at night. It was that noisy through the night, entire night! So, if you are a light sleeper - pass it. We shut the windows close as well as the storm doors for extra barrier. Didn’t help.
Now, read the description carefully - it says shared bathroom! Yes, you have to share it with the others (I believe there were two of them available). Quite inconvenient if you need to get up in the middle of the night to go pee.
WIFI is a joke! The signal was very weak in our room and almost unusable.
Check in was somewhat confusing as there were no clear instructions given. Same thing with the check out process. At check out there was somebody at the front desk - so we didn’t have issues then.
There is NO AC in the unit. Just a ceiling fan.
Customer service could have been better - we tried to get into the building at the time of arrival and no one answered even though we kept pushing the button. If you run a hotel business - please make sure you provide a good customer support, not just sitting and collecting money remotely.

Clean, check in and communication challenging
Location was EXCELLENT in the since of being able to easily walk to many attractions and meet-up spots for tours. There was a lot of noise from the street with our particular room, but I feel that comes from being in a busy area.
Very clean, even having to share a bathroom with others.
Check in is a little confusing. Initially, finding it is challenging. A good way to remember is it is across and down from the Korean restaurant.
Breakfast has some frustrations. Lovely pastries and coffee, but the timing during which it is served is not convenient if you have a tour booked at 9. They are almost never actually there at 8, and you can’t just grab and go. Recommend starting breakfast at least at 7 so tours and travelers can partake without stress.

Note, this is not a bed and breakfast. They only provide a few biscuits in the room.
Also, check the room details carefully as we had a shared bathroom.
And mostly, this area is so noisy you won't get to sleep before 2 in the morning.
The place was very clean and one of our rooms (no 4) was really big with a table and somewhere to sit but the other (no3) lacked both of these.

Great property! Great location next to everything you want to do in Florence, easy walk from train station. It could use some AC or mosquito netting on the window (air outside was nice and cool at night). Overhead fan works good at night but open window or AC would be better.

Budget B&B. The best about this property was the location! We stayed at double bed en-suite which was actually clean. The bed room and bathroom were clean but the shower area and shower head covered with thick black mould! The building has a very strong damp smell, that even lingered in hallway and into the bedroom making it hard to sleep. Check in was easy enough and staff were pleasant and helpful. The door access was easy with no trouble!
If someone looking for great location and don’t care about the rest, this is for you!

Property gives incorrect address. Hard to find. Extremely noisy. Don’t expect to sleep since you are located in an alley with people doing drugs all night. Bathroom was dirty with other previous guest soap bars left out and no clean soap to use… room was very hot without a working fan and no A/C. Overall was easily our worst stay in Italy.

Avoid at all costs!
Avoid at all costs! All the negative reviews here were correct. Don’t believe the pictures. We had booked this place and couldn’t stay in it. The stone steps up to it are v dangerous, narrow and steep. The alleyway leading to it is not safe. We took one look at the room and booked in elsewhere. We lost two nights money. The host refused to answer messages.

Beware - this was a glorified hostel with falsely advertised amenities. The concierge was rarely there and not there to let us into the building during regular check in hours. The listing said there was a kitchen, breakfast included, and a crib - but this wasn’t true. Our infant had to sleep on the floor in a makeshift bed, despite our requesting the crib 2 days before our arrival. The host never responded to messages and when we finally saw the concierge on day 2, they were not helpful.The location was excellent, but unfortunately, this was overshadowed by the fact that the listing did not have other amenities that we needed for our stay.

Completely misrepresented on the website. This was absolutely terrible experience. Although the description read that someone would be on duty during normal business hours, there was no one ever there. The cleaning person could be heard but not seen. The owner came in half way through our stay briefly to collect tourist tax. When asked about a breakfast that had been advertised, she muttered something about Expedia should have let us know about her stopping breakfast and that was all we got. Worst of all was the loud noises coming from below in the street in the evening and going into the wee hours of the morning, this from same crowd of people hanging out smoking pot right next to building entrance. Overall other than the superb location, the experience was miserable. We dreaded going “home” each evening. My husband called it a hostel, a very expensive but nonetheless hostel kind of vibe.
