Overall this property was fine and worked for what we needed. The self check in process was very smooth and very appreciated as we arrived much later in the evening. At first glance in the dark and dim light, the room was fine. But there was a very horrible stench coming from the bathroom. Since I'm pregnant I'm very sensitive to smells but even my husband thought it was quite awful. It lasted the whole evening and was still there when we left. I did note this in my feedback regarding the check in process and while we were out the next day they made up the bed and I think possibly dealt with the smell. It wasn't all gone but it was much more bearable. In the daylight I did notice what I had thought the night before was just vintage chips in the wall, was actually dirt on the walls, more so what appears to be blood and other such substances. We noticed some mosquitos in our room so I am assuming it was other people killing them on the walls. The breakfast provided in the morning was a great treat and much appreciated. The host was there helping make cappuccinos and was very lovely. There was yogurt, pastries, fruit, fruit juices, and a coffee machine. Overall I was happy with the location and space, just wish the bathroom and cleanliness wasn't what it was because it did dampen the experience.

Quaint and Friendly Stay in Florence
The hostess at this hotel was the best! She was so helpful and kind. The room was quaint and had a wood ceiling and wood beam, which gave it lots of character. We had a private bathroom that was down 5 steps which was a little tricky to use. It was an older bathroom and had a few small issues. The hotel was about 5-10 minute walk from the train station which made it really convenient for dropping off our luggage before exploring Florence. Our hostess provided a delicious breakfast for us.

The property was close enough to walk to the museums/sights, yet far enough not to be in the middle of the hustle/bustle of the city. Our host was very helpful and eager to please.

Not a hotel, but a B&B, but not in a home. My room was under the eaves, not on the main floor so absolutely no wifi unless I went down 2 flights of stairs. Tiny bath en-suite, but down a set of stairs. Shower head attaches to wall facing bidet. No glass in bath. Room was clean, and very basic.

The hosts were really nice people. The room was good and spacious but the shower area was really small. Could barely even spread my arms. The shower gel was minimal so you’re better off getting your own. It had an air conditioner which was really helpful

The hosts are really welcoming and helpful despite language barriers. The room was very large and comfortable if a little basic. It's a 15 minute walk into town so well placed but our room was on the main road so was a bit noisy. I was surprised to have to pay an additional tax on top of the booking when we arrived but other than that had a lovely stay. It felt more like an air BnB than a hotel but no worse for it. Would have no issue to book again.

The room was nice and tidy, and in the heat of Florence in Aug, the air conditioning was definitely appreciated. As this was my first time in Italy, I didn't know what to expect from hotels, this was more like an apartment, a happy surprise. Check-in was a little strange but explains why they ask from your estimated time of arrival to the hotel, I would try to be as accurate as possible. There is no lobby or receptionist area to check in so when you arrive, you have to call the hotel contact and let them know, only they can let you into the building. I love that breakfast is also served but do not expect a continental breakfast, expect quick and on the go, which was perfect for me. The location is super convenient to S.M Novela train station (about 7 min walk) and heart of Florence (about 20 min walk or 10min bus ride). Absolutely loved my stay and would 10/10 recommend this location.
