The room was big and the bathroom is big too which is a very good thing to be, the location is very good about 15 minutes with the bus to city center, the bus stop is right in front of the hotel, there is a few free street parking slots and there is a paid parking about 6 minutes walking

10/10 Exceptional

Marzio was a great host, our room was squeaky clean and very spacious for us 5, two adults 2 teens and a 4yo. Marzio was super helpful with tips and recommendations about places to visit during our stay in Florence. Although the property is not in the main area is pretty close on a bus which the stop is accross the street or by uber our preferred option especially with a little kid; parking was no problem for us. Breakfast was nice and yummy but dinners were my favorite, Marzio and Rosalba prepared some very nice and delicious meals and very authentic Italian. We loved it and we would recommend it and if we could come back again we would for sure stay with them.
Kristian, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

⸻ The place was clean enough, but there was a noticeable funky smell in the hallway. The provided shampoo, soap, and towels were very basic, so it’s better to bring your own if you can. Breakfast was decent. The location is a bit far from the city center, though there’s a bus stop nearby—just note that weekend service isn’t very frequent. Also, there aren’t any restaurants within walking distance.

Isabella, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was the best stay that we had in all of our travels through Europe. The room was spacious, clean and cool. The host was amazing every morning he would cook for us, Whatever we wanted for breakfast. He helped us guide our way through the city helped us find the easiest ways back-and-forth and every day would give us advice. It was a wonderful stay and we were able to check in at 1:30 in the morning. He catered to every need! I would definitely stay there again!

Lovely staff, clean room with lots of space. You can hear your noisy neighbours so depending on who is staying may impact your sleep. Location is far from downtown but an easy bus ride and nice local restaurants.
