The property is as pictured, and was conveniently located. We were able to walk to every museum, church, and activity we wanted to see and do. However, the home is located over a convenience store and it was noisy as men would gather outside and talk into the night. The shower valve was also not working property and the water would change quickly (on it's own) from hot to cold.

If you want the Ritz Carlton this is NOT the place for you. This place meets your needs. Don’t drive just walk, it’s faster and cheaper.Con’s: lamps would flicker on and off or wouldn’t turn on at all when trying to use them. Water pressure for showers was iffy and it was showering with arctic waters or the surface of the sun. Pros: This is a great place to stay to rest your head, have a little privacy, close to your desired tours, and not break the bank. Most everything you want to visit is within a 20 minute walk: restaurants galore, the statue of David (3 blocks away), the Bell Tower (6 blocks), the Michelangelo leather school, wine walls, and more. Best Gelato spot, La Sorbettiera, is further about 25/30 minute walk and worth it. Safe neighborhood even at night, no issues. I’m use to the city life so evening life was white noise for me. Host: Boris was great he let me check in early to drop off my luggage so I could start exploring right away. He gave me the ins and outs and was a WhatsApp message away if I needed anything. I was even given options to store my luggage at a safe location for post check out before leaving town.Note transit times for waking can vary, the crowds on the 16 inch wide sidewalks dragging their luggage is your a majority of your traffic. navigating in town after a day is pretty easy, so have fun and let this be your place to rest. AI can say I’d book again!

Nice place that met our needs

My daughter was doing her study abroad in Florence, once she was done, I came to join her. We spent 3 weeks seeing Europe of which we spent 3 nights in Florence. The shower is TINY and I mean TINY. I am not a big person and neither is my daughter! We also could not get the water to stay warm!!! It was either COLD or steaming HOT!!! The water closet does not flush well. The bed pillows are HORRIBLY FLAT. The pictures make this place look much nicer than it is. The location is ok, but be ready to wake up early every morning to outside noises. Also be prepared to walk up 4 flights of stairs. The place has charm but needs some work.
