Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very clean and well kept. Kitchen was locked all day so make sure you take a kettle. Didn’t see anyone having a breakfast while we were there. We got our own. The patio area let it down as was very tired and seating seen better days. Room could have done with a little fridge. Air conditioning was good. Near transport. Basic but good
I had a really wonderful stay! The location was nice and quiet. It was also a relatively short walk to the train station. The staff at the reception desk was super helpful and accommodating, I would definitely stay here again!
There is a tram station nearby, so it's very convenient. The water pressure in the shower was also great. Best of all, there is a delicious jarato restaurant nearby.
Great place to stay during our trip to Florence. The room opened up directly to a cute, quiet terrace. The check in process was easy and the staff was very nice and helpful.
Easy to check in remotely. It was located next to a lot of restaurants and a nice park that we were able to walk to. Angelica, the property manager was so helpful! She provided me with great information on how to check in and use keys to get into the building.
We felt like the room that was advertised online did not look the same in person. Upon arrival, we noticed the curtain to one of the windows was broken. The mattress was disgusting, completely stained brown/yellow.
I don’t normally write reviews but this was a really sweet small B+B which was perfect. Communal sun terrace for breakfast/ sitting out. It was clean and Angelica on reception friendly .
