    The room was on the 1st floor so there were some noises from the street outside. I couldn't find how to open the window blinds so the room was pretty dark. Also private parking is available only from the check in time, so if you arrive early there is noone to let you in and you have to park on the street.

    The host Mario was very helpful, he wrote us on WhatsApp to know our arrival details. Property has shared kitchen and a nice garden for morning coffee. Our room was specious as well as the private bathroom. They let us leave our car in private parking for additional time with no fee after the checkout.

    Being a shared place, some people forget that other people sleep, making quite some noise at 5 AM

    Well situated and good priced, staff is super friendly as well.

    To get there was a little bit of an adventure as we came in on the train and then took tram to area close. But then had to walk a good ways with luggage. So really using a taxi was the best option but did cost more. However they did help us get a taxis which was a little crazy with a taxi strike and all... so their help was greatly appreciated.

    First and foremost the best part was getting to know Domenico. He was so helpful and really gave us some great information on where to go and things to do. All his suggestions were right on and a real blessing. The little kitchen area was nice so there was a place to go read my Bible without waking up the others in our room. Really did feel like we were in a small Italian town.

    The property was quite expensive for what you paid for, and also about a 25 minute walk from the main areas of Florence.

    The property was nice and clean, it had good facilities for shared bathroom, with two toilets and showers to access. The bedroom was quite large, with a reasonable bed. The owner was lovely and very welcoming.

    Being an old building, soundproofing was not great. We could hear doors opening and closing and people talking in the next room.

    Host was lovely and very helpful, he gave us some good recommendations on restaurants and travel. The accommodation was a very short tram ride from the centre which was very convenient. There was a supermarket nearby and a well equipped kitchen area meaning we could have food there. The terrace area was lovely for a lazy morning.

    Communication with the city center by tram or bus is not a highlight, and it's better to go walking, but it is a bit far after all day walking Firenze streets.

    The host was really nice, the place was clean and the noise isolation was good. Also, the shower was great and the hairdryer provided was nice so kinda felt like home.

    The doors are quite noisy and there are not so many places for towels in the toilet.

    Close to the train station (Stazione di Firenze Santa Maria Novella), about 20 minutes by walk (there also faster ways by bus) You can use the kitchen and make coffee in the coffee machine. Also possible to take a bike, but you need to make a deposit in the amount of 150 euros.

    The window from our room was facing the street which was extremely noisy even at night. The bathroom had no hooks to hang your towel, which would be easy to add. The doors were noisy. It's a bit overpriced.

    It was nice that there is a kitchen, coffee/tea, along with the outside patio from the kitchen.

    The room was rather dark. The wall outlets were all the in-line, three-pronged Italian-style outlets, and not the standard European (Schuko) ones.

    Friendly staff, good location, super clean. Large room with a large bathroom. The place has all the basics to make the stay a comfortable one. The city tax is included in the price, so there's no need to pay it apart.

    Late check in at 15:00

    You get here what ordinary standard hotels aren’t able to offer - the spirit and beauty of florencian houses, so go for it. It’s just 5 minutes by tram + 3 minutes walk from central train station and has really good price to value ratio. Having breakfast or late tea in their patio is priceless

    Summer blankets would be nice to have. I am sure if I had asked Domenico, he would have arranged it, but I didn’t get a chance to ask him.

    It was very clean. Domenico was very friendly and helpful. The bus stop is just outside the hotel, so it’s convenient when you coming back dead tired.
