There's a sense the owners don't know or care much about the historical culture of the city of Florence. They informed us that Michelangelo's David is housed in the Uffizi (though they were savvy enough to know the one outside is a copy). Luckily we knew better. Michelangelo's David is in the Accademia -- which also smells like dead things. Being a budget traveler, I'm not expecting the Savoy or anything, but there was something offputting about this place. Maybe they're just new and still green about the hospitality industry. The location wasn't bad for sightseeing, but "home sweet home" it wasn't. I wouldn't stay here again.close

We had a wonderful weekend in Florence!!! We had the three-bed-room. The rooms was great, the bathroom was very clean and the stuff is awesome. WE WILL COME BACK!!!

Excellent option!, although the area is not the prettiest, it is very near the train station and close the city centre (walking distance). The rooms are big and clean and the deco is very nice. There is a laptop with free internet available for everybody (the place is very quiet).

There's also a kitchen so u can cook if u want to save some money! One detail: there's no one in the reception but we called the number (there's a sign in the street) and the guy came very quickly. :)close

We like the owners, Mr Carlos and partner, who're so fashionable and stylish that we nicknamed them Mr.and Mrs.Smith. All the facilities from the reception to the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom is just superb!

Really nice place! Good location:Next to the train station, easy to find. It is NOT expensive and they treated us very well We could also use their computer, they were very kind. Big bedrooms and a kitchen where you can cook your own meal.

Vito and Carlo are really friendly, fun and helpful - just totally lovely hosts. The rooms are clean. They have a lovely shared kitchen. If you are lucky enough to book the twin room, there is a private garden off it. The Duomo is only 10 minutes away and the train station is about the same. Highly recommended - in fact I am going back!close
