Air conditioning was a huge plus! Everything was a little run down, and it takes 5 keys just to get to our room. The bathroom always had a slight sewer smell, and the automatic light to go into the bathroom turned on anytime you might want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night…not ideal if others are trying sleep in the room. Overall it worked for a budget stay in a great location in Florence

The room itself is in a great location in Florence, although a little inconvenient to get in an out as you have to walk up several flights of stairs and go through several locked gates. However, it is within close walking distance to several major attractions and restaurants. The room was small, but clean and maintained. Check-in was also slightly inconvenient as it is a few blocks away, and they also charged us for luggage storage since we arrived 2 hours before check in, which I've never had a place do before. Overall though, it was a good place to stay and I would stay there again.

I feel in love with this place other then the many stairs to get to your room. I got the room with the balcony which I loved, sitting out in the morning to drink coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine. The ceilings are extremely high with beautiful murals on them. The rooms are spacious and the beds were comfy which was a good surprise. Just be careful on checkout day because they tell you to leave the key in the room and go, but when you get down to the bottom floor you cant leave without the key! Sooo many stairs to run back up, down, back up again and back down!

WOW! What an experience to stay in this property. I could imagine living in this period as I made my way to and from the room every day. The folks helping with check in and out were very friendly and responsive. The room was clean and had plenty of comforts when needed. Great location with a minuet walk to everything. My only want was for a room facing away from the main street outside the window. A bit noisy but manageable with earplugs.

Very convenient location walkable to nearly everything including some good restaurants and breakfast spots. The building is a bit rustic but has all the basic amenities. Our water pump / plumbing was a bit noisy but not to the point it effected our sleep.

Great location

This was a very cool old building in a perfect location- 4 minute walk to Duomo. It reminded us of staying in an old mansion. The rooms were large and the patio was great. The only negative I would say is that it is very sparse for such a beautiful building. Just adding a few more touches would make it seem perfect.

The actual residences were in a different building than the place of check in and were only accessible through a few flights of stairs. Check in was super efficient. The rooms itself were very spacious and appreciated the big balcony. Be wary of mosquitos if the doors are left open as you could see squished mosquitos on the walls. Wifi was a little spotty for the room we were in but still manageable. Towel service/housekeeping was not provided on a daily basis. Overall, pretty decent as the location was quite central and is a walkable distance to the train station or 1 bus away.

5 (five) gates with keys to get into your room- endless steps to get to room makes this hard to recommend. The price was less expensive than others I stayed at and the location was excellent, however the lack of ammenties and ridiculous amount of keys and locks to go thru and the endless steps make it a 2 star at best. P.S. main door is very difficult to open as you have to slam into door with full force if your body to push it open.

The only real upside to this place is its central location—if you're just looking for somewhere to sleep and don’t care much about comfort, it might work for you. But be prepared for several inconveniences. First, check-in is not at the building itself; it’s a few blocks away, which was not clearly communicated beforehand until you arrive. There’s no elevator, so if you have heavy luggage, you’ll be carrying it up multiple staircases. You’ll also need to juggle five different keys just to get to your room—yes, five. Once inside, the room smelled musty and moldy, and it looked nothing like the photos on Expedia. What was advertised as a bright, clean room was actually dark, dated, and worn. On top of that, there’s no housekeeping service during your stay, which made things feel even more neglected. This could be a last-resort option for someone on a tight budget who just wants a place to sleep near the center—but manage your expectations carefully.

Let's start with positives. The property is in a great location for accessing everything from transportation to food to shopping to major attractions. Now the rest. There was supposed to be an elevator but we couldn't find it. Every door we opened contained a little stairway to nowhere. So we had to drag our luggage up 80 stairs. No food allowed in the room - at all. This is news! A strange rule. The sewer smell was overpowering so they came and poured bleach down the drain which lasted through our stay. However the A/C noise was unbelievably loud, like a pair of dog grooming clippers through an amplifier. We let them know but nothing changed. The room didn't look like the photos. The bathroom was cramped with no place to set things down and one corner of the shower has mold and yuck. The staff were very nice and we give them the benefit of the doubt for the other things. I'm sure they don't make policy! Would not stay here again
