cozy private room in historical center

Great location. Easy to work with. Nice job

Extremely DISAPPOINTED with this property. By far the grossest place I’ve ever stayed. We were NOT aware the time of booking it is a SHARED SPACE (shared bathroom and bedroom in the basement) or we wouldn’t have booked it. The bathroom was disgusting, smelt and not clean at all. There was NO LOCK on the bathroom door nor a lock on our bedroom. We left the fan and light on one day and came back to it all turned off and the window open so he was definitely in our room which I did not like at all. The room we stayed in was obviously someone’s room. There was old junk in the nightstands and clothes in the closet. The far outlet beside the bed did not work so we could not charge our phones and there was only one light beside the bed so the room was very dark. Would definitely not recommend to female travelers as I did not feel safe. The location was the only nice thing about this room. as it is very close to the square. Still very upset we did not know it was a shared space with shared bathroom and when we confronted him about it he got very defensive quickly… Especially for the price we paid for it.

If you expect a cozy room.. It's not cozy. It's a room in the house of the landlord, and you must share the bathroom with him. The room is a kind of closet with old things inside, the ones you should probably throw away but you don't have the courage. It's not clean, a bit smelly. We decided not to stay and come back home. For 97 euros, you can find much much better.

The room is a child’s room, not a space for a guest. The apartment is up numerous staircases and is a shared space, which VRBO advertises that it doesn’t do.

The best thing is the location, and the accommodations were good. Having read the reviews we knew what to expect and were not surprised. The downsides were mainly the six flights of stairs and the fact that the bathroom is shared. Antonio was accommodating and offered good advice about what to see and where to eat. A couple things that could be done easily to improve the stay for guests would be to provide some closet and/or drawer space and to have a clear place in the bathroom for a guest towel (rather than in the bedroom).

This is a good spot if you're looking for something that is centrally located, but it was unclear (at the time of booking) that this was a shared facility. It was really nice staying somewhere that was so close to the middle of Florence, but sharing a bathroom that wasn't very clean and staying in a room next to the host's daughter was not ideal.

Perfect location - comfortable space

Location, location!! So easy to walk to all the main attractions in Florence. Very close to Santa Maria Novella Train Station.

Antonio was a wonderful host. He was very accommodating and went above and beyond during our stay. The apartment is conveniently located just a short walk from the train station and right next to a wonderful market. One thing to note is that there are a lot of stairs to get to the apartment

We booked Antonio’s place but didn’t end up staying due to some misunderstanding on both sides. Antonio got the dates mixed up so thought we were arriving the following day so it wasn’t ready when we arrived. He offered to quickly get it ready however it wasn’t what we were expecting as it is a shared accommodation with the host. The wording of the ad stating that the apt was on two levels and with the photos provided we did not realize that we’d be sharing bathroom etc. so wasn’t as private as we had thought. For someone who doesn’t mind that it is a great price and a great location. Antonio was very kind and refunded our payment.

This location is amazing, being next to the central market for a variety of food and also a 10 minute walk from the train station and all tourist hotspots. The best part of the property though no doubt was the host. He was the nicest person we talked to on our weeklong trip to Italy, and made me feel like I was at home. 10/10, this is the place to book if you're unsure.

Enjoyable with a very friendly & helpful owner; well placed for us.
