I tried getting in touch with the host about a million times, eventually she sent me a message saying she will send details a couple hours before check in. I was leaving Milan to Florence.
I got to Florence and could not get on to her. I did after a while.
When I got there, there was no lift, we had to walk up three flights of steps.
The place was reaking of cigarette smoke.
Only one room had Ac, the two others a fan that barely worked.
One shower and toilet to be shared among 8of us.
Then by the second day, other people was also using. We had to wait to use it at times.
The bathroom shower was not working well, the showerhead sprayed all over, they would remove the mats and not replace.
The doors to the side do not lock at all.
The window in the bathroom is moulded.
I will not recommend.
Mosquitoes was KILLING US.
I sent a message to booking.com, never got a response.
I told her and she gave me three plug on to help.

This accommodation was not too bad, very comfortable bed! Check in and out was quite easy with no issues. There is a bus stop close by, which is handy and the room is a relatively good size.
The room didn't appear to have any air con and the accommodation had a very very strong smell of cigarette smoke, which set off my asthma repeatedly.
The location was alright but you are quite a bit outside of the main area (however you already know that going in).

air flow in the room and size of fan for the heat wave, staff were not necessarily helpful, place always stunk of cigarettes, shocking water pressure and bathroom facilities

What we liked was the fact that the common places were really clean and the room is nice, calm.
The fact that the landlady was not polite at all by message or by phone. She called to ask us to open a door blocked and when we couldn't she hang up without a thank you or goodbye.
We were woken up an hour before the check-out by someone trying to open the room.
We were at Florence at a really warm period and it was written that we should have air conditioning but we only had a little fan.

Manager of the property was professional and courteous, made sure you were able to contact her in case of problems
There is a mobility chair available for those unable to use the two flights of stairs.
The room was large with a high roof. Comfortable and clean with comfy bed and plenty of fresh towels provided.
Lobby was very clean and tidy.
Bathroom despite problems with the shower was kept clean and tidy. A hair dryer is provided for free in the bathroom.
The property is located a 20- 30 minute walk from the centre and very easy to walk to. There is a bus stop just to the right of the property which takes you directly to the centre for 1.50€
The bathroom is quite narrow so not to be recommended for those with balance issues.
The shower did not have doors but simply two sheets of hard plastic which one must bend in order to enter and exit. The plastic sheets are held to the shower with a badly rusted frame which is unpleasant.
The shower room became very wet due to water not being kept inside by the plastic sheets making the floor dangerously wet (caution and a short shower recommended) . There wasn't anything in the way of a support handle and the shower is very small so would not recommend if you have mobility issues or particularly broad shouldered.
With the issue of the shower/bathroom in mind on top of the fact it was already shared between 3 rooms we felt the amount charged for the accommodation to be a bit high.

The room was spacious and comfortable for one night stay.
The shower was a bit clumpsy but since we stayed only for one night.. We didn't care much.

The room is very spacious, beautifully decorated, it's a little outside the main city but nothing too far away. It's easily accessible by a bus or if you're down to walk. The view outside the room was also amazing as it's close to the hills. The host was also very responsive
The bathroom was shared and quite small. Not super comfortable. We only stayed for one night, and just needed a place to sleep, so this wasn't much of an issue for us but if you're maybe staying longer, it might be.

Although the rooms and location are good, the owner was very unfriendly.
She pressured non stop to send her fotos of passports in advance, which I did, but she didn't receive it, so she had to meet me in person, which seemed to be the worst thing on earth for her.
In other places you feel as a guest, in this place you feel that the host is actually bothered by you.
The ambiance of mistrust was worsened by a surveillance camera in the corridor, probably because she was scared that you would take a coffee without paying it.
Maybe this money should have been invested in the bathroom instead, where the floor was always flooded with water because the shower door was leaking.
Althought there's a lot of space in the house, you can't leave your luggage there on the day of departure.
This is obviously something they could offer easily, but once again this would require a person actually working there and being in touch with the clients. Apparently they don't want that.
You clearly feel that the only thing they want here is your money, and such a thing as help or being friendly is unknown in this place.

I stayed and extra night as I was so relaxed and enjoyed it here. Diana is very helpful and friendly. She waited for me though I was bit late as my bus got delayed in traffic. Check in till 8 pm stayed in upstairs room and it was great. I also stayed in a huge room on the main level .it had a balcony overlooking trees and plants in the garden and up the streets. Wifi worked well. Bathrooms clean and showers work well. Comfortable beds and warm rooms. For the price it is superb I thought

This place was beautiful! I wasn't sure what to expect and booked the only room left at the last minute. But the building was very elegant and my room very spacious and comfortable. The decorations were stylish and I loved the marble floors and walls.
I appreciated the small coffee/snack area and they also provided an excellent power hairdryer! The staff were very quick to respond on WhatsApp, and the house cleaner was very friendly and greeted me each day. Perfect for my short stay in Florence!

We liked the placement of the apartment, it’s in a cool area with close to no tourist. The shared balcony was nice.
The air conditioning wasn’t working and sometimes neither the shower. There was a good who kept pooping naked with the door open, not the apartments fault. But that was kinda weird.

Everything was clean, from the room to the bathroom and the rest of the house. There even is a fridge with small freezer everyone can use! Plus kettle etc. The woman was also very kind and helpful.
We had the room in the attic, it was super hot, because the the window was broken where the AC was connected to the outside so the hot air constantly came in :/ But Otherwise it was great: Everything was clean, from the room to the bathroom and the rest of the house. There even is a fridge with small freezer everyone can use! Plus kettle etc. The woman was also very kind and helpful.

It was far from the center. The bathroom was in common use with other guests and it was hard to find it available. There was no air conditioning, there was only a fan. The area was filled with traffic noise. There was a washing machine in the bathroom and I asked if I can use it and the worker said yes however there were sheets in the machine and she didn’t take them away for more than 1 day after I asked to use it, so I couldn’t use it and I think she did this on purpose. There were no pos machine to pay the city taxes, she asked for only cash.

Nothing was satisfactory
The host was extremely hostile and rude. She was clearly prejudice to me and my black friend. She kicked us out in the middle of the night, insulted us and was extremely aggressive. She told us she would refund us which was a lie because the next day she refused to give us a refund even though we did not get to complete our stay.

The room is comfortable, the service super friendly.
The room is fine in summer, a fan would be extremely necessary.

The room was nice and clean and the balcony was really cute.
Bus stop just around the corner that takes you to the city in 15min (bus 6).
Would come back!

The Host, Diana, was very friendly and welcoming. We only saw her when we checked-in, but everything was explained well to us (and in English) and we had a lovely visit. Both the little shared bathroom and the room were clean and comfortable.
*There was no air conditioning, so for hot summer months, maybe to provide an electric fan would be nice. We were very comfortable, but we are also pretty good with heat. I think some people would find it too hot to sleep.
We also didn’t expect to have breakfast provided, but Diana gave us tickets to have breakfast in a local bar and it was exceptional!
We are vegan, and usually don’t expect to find vegan options unless we specifically ask for them/seek them out, and the bar’s vegan Cappuccino and brioche were delicious!! Thank you!
Just that there was no air conditioning or a fan in the bedroom. We were okay, but Florence gets very hot in summer and some people might find it uncomfortable.

The room was big and very clean with a lovely balcony outside
The location required 2 buses to get into the city centre but they were easy enough to figure out and get. The location is still walkable with city centre.
