It took us a bit to find the unit but once we did we really like the location! Unit was clean and centrally located. Il Mercato centrale was right across the street! It got a bit loud in the mornings when the leather carts were setting in for the day but besides that we absolutely enjoyed our stay!

This hotel exceeded my expectations! They really thought of everything — not just shampoo and shower gel, but also toothbrushes, toothpaste, little chocolates, and a few free drinks in the minibar. When I checked in, the AC was already on — such a small thing, but it makes a big difference and was so appreciated. Staff also helped me find ideal parking for my large car, and earplugs were provided since the street can get a bit noisy at night. Breakfast had a nice variety: pastries, boiled eggs, cereal, and juices. And the location is perfect — everything is within a 15-minute walk. It’s not just a room, it’s an experience. Highly recommend!

No elevator available in the property. Who needs elevator to walk up to two floors has to consider, for us it wasn’t an issue. Thanks.

Great hosts. Fantastic location but on top of the market so not super quiet. 4 flights of stairs so be prepared. Not convenient for cars. Must park in parking garage a few blocks away for 40euro per night. The central Mercado is awesome. Just outside the door.

The apartment is in a great location, it’s clean and comfortable and has lots of cosy extras the hosts have taken the time to put together including amazingly clear instructions on the apartment and restaurants and where to visit etc. They are a lovely couple who assisted us with where to park our car and chat to us on arrival. Parking is in a valet parking car park right near the apartment and all the sights are a stones throw from the door. The market is in the square as well.

Great apartment right next to the central market. You would think it would be loud but, all the vendors go away every evening and it gets very quiet. The bed was comfortable the bathroom was well put together and there was a free breakfast every morning. We walked all over Florence and enjoyed coming back to our nice comfortable room.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We notified our hosts that we would arrive a couple hours earlier than the check in time and they had our room available when we arrived. We stayed in the Blue room and it was very clean and modern and the location is great - just 10 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and 5 minutes from the cathedral. The 2 girls who were working there were very friendly. The only downside I can say is you need to walk up 4 floors to reach the property so just be prepared for that. I would definitely stay here again.

We arrived at well after their posted check-in hours (almost midnight) and hadn't expected to see anyone until the next morning. But to our surprise the host was there waiting for us to show us around. He was unbelievably friendly and helpful. They also had everything we could need - including free drinks in the mini bar because it was so hot while we were there. The location is also perfect. It was cool to be able to watch people setting up for the market right outside our window. We can't say enough nice things about this place.

This place was a bit unexpected, and this made finding the right door a bit challenging. Once inside, all was great. The bed was very comfortable and the view from the window was entertaining. The true WOW was the breakfast. Sadly, we missed one day because of a tour. The host brought fresh-baked pasteries, cheeses, meats, fruit, and juice. He also brewed us coffee to order and explained the different foods and the people who had made them in their local shops. Delightful and yummy! We would stay here again without hesitation.
