Beautiful unique room. Large room and high ceilings. Great shower and comfy beds. Helpful, welcoming staff who let us check in very early and had our room ready and gave bottles of water. Very helpful and responsive on messages.
Building works outside window so may need ear plugs (provided by host). This didn’t bother us. Room had great shutters so was dark and we slept well.

Room is spacious.
Walking distance into centre.
Loud building noise all day. The entire street is a massive building site which was not disclosed.
Windows cannot be opened during the day due to noise and dirt on street. Windows cannot be opened during the night as the room is a ground floor residential apartment facing roads in a questionable neighbourhood that did not feel safe.
Aircon is useless. The unit is extremely loud so sleep is impossible. We had to turn it off and at 25 degrees during the night sleep was impossible.
Although a spacious room, in the end we could not sleep and that renders a hotel room useless.

I liked the location in a relatively quiet neighbourhood and yet not far from the historical centre. Close to the river and a nice park. There was very good light in the bathroom, which is rare, even in more expensive places.
Internet could be better.

The lady was extremely helpful and kept my luggage for me the next day until my train was due. The room was big and clean and had everything you needed. I will definitely return the next time I am in Florence.

muy cerca de una estación de tren que te conecta con la estación Santa María Novella. Además de estar súper accesible al centro histórico de Florencia.
Por la época no prenden los aires acondicionados, pero el clima no estuvo tan mal. Y la habitación se mantenía fresca.

The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. It's a quite and save neighborhood about 15 min. walking from the historic city center.
Currently (August 2022), a new building is being built on the opposite of the street. Construction works start early so bring a pair of earplugs if you want to sleep a bit more.

- staff were lovely and went out their way to help us with holding our suitcase for the day
- room was very clean
- bathroom was lovely with a big shower which was much needed in the heat!
unfortunately the air con did not work very well however this may have been due to the extreme heat whilst we were in Florence

The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. I liked that it was close to the train station and a laundry mat.
We had user error to make the shower work correctly. The knob was hard to navigate. I did not realize how far it was from the center when we were walking everywhere but it is away from the tourist area.

The host for this B&B could not have been more helpful, she was so pleasant and accommodating. The room was a great size, bed was comfy and the shower was a great size as well! Easily accessible by local tram and walking distance for other sites!

The room was value for money and the location was away from the main noise of Firenze. It was a small room so two guests would struggle but it was ok.
The room was so hot and I couldn't turn the central heating down, I tried and it made little difference to the temperature but I was ok with this somewhat - what the worst part of this room was the noise coming from something outside my window and it was loud - I think it was an aircon but not mine as I never turned it on even though my room was hot. Another thing I could not identify was a smell like glue or something coming from the direction of the bathroom which was quite strong for me. Definitely not somewhere I would stay again as I needed to be awake early for an important appointment and I sadly didn’t sleep well!

location, 8 minutes walking from train station , 15 minutes walk to the centre. Clean and staff friendly

Well designed apartment near to the city centre and tasty restaurants
It is located on the 1floor so be prepared to listen not sober men at night and street construction in the morning.
10.0
I have been very happy with my choice! The staff has been very helpful from the start, allowing me to check in very early in the morning. The room was large, perfectly organised, clean and well located. I found the bed relatively comfortable (I read other reviews before booking that complained about it, but honestly I found it ok).
Next to the B&B there are shops and bars to buy almost everything you may need. You are also very close to the city centre. Yet, it is located in a quiet street at night
As noted by other reviewers, it is true that the room does not really keep noises out very well. It is possible to hear noises from the other rooms (mostly at night, when the other guests return) and from the streets (during the day, there is a construction site next to the building of the room). For me it was not a big issue, hence my high valuation, but if the other guests happen to be noisy, or if noise really bother you, this may be something to keep in mind.

A very nice, spacious room. Super friendly and kind owners.
Construction site just in front, noisy in the morning hours.
