Giglio Classic in Florence by Mmega

The place is really cute and perfectly located. A short walk to the train station and easy walks to the sites, the duomo is essentially around the corner.Another reviewer mentioned the noise. I am used to city noises and didn't mind the noise here. It's not particularly that noisy at this location compared to the rest of the city, but any noise you do hear just seemed louder somehow...maybe something to do with stone buildings, cobblestone streets and no trees? All this to say, if you are sensitive to noise when sleeping, you may want to arrive with a noise cancelling plan.We really enjoyed our stay, would do it again.

Great location to explore Florence on foot, washing machine enabled light packing, all in all an excellent place to use as a base to explore Florence and Tuscany.

Great apartment location right in the heart of Florence. The bed is not great and it can be noisy at night but the location couldn't be better.

We really liked the location of the property due to how close it was to the train station, the tram, and dining options, but just have to knock off a few stars because of the property's cleanliness (or lack thereof) and the lack of soundproofing (although, that might be expected considering its proximity to the main road). Some pros include how this place had a laundry machine, which was needed for us after a few weeks of travelling. Fair warning to other guests, you'll just have to hang your laundry on the line outside the bedroom windows since most places in Italy don't have a dryer. Another pro for us was that this place is extremely spacious. Felt like a New York studio apartment with its huge rooms and high ceilings. You also can't beat the location. One of the biggest con was the lack of cleanliness. Got eaten alive by the mosquitos there and had to buy one of those plug-in mosquito repellants; there were several mold spots in the bathroom; and the dining table cushions looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while (so much so that we just lifted them and sat on the wood). Another con is how you'll need to sacrifice a good night's sleep. Because of how close you are to the main road and several restaurants, we could hear conversations happening outside the window and down the street until past 2 am. Cars and carts are constantly rolling by and tour groups are frequently passing under your windows. Overall, location's great, but at a cost.
