I rounded to 5 stars because this was an excellent place to stay!
Pros:
-Photos and description are pretty accurate.
-Federico was AMAZING with frequent communication and worked with me when I had travel delays.
-Nice and spacious (especially compared to Italian hotels) with a bathroom to correspond to each room. It’s hard to find a spot with three bathrooms in Florence. That was important for us and it was the right decision!
-Hot water in showers. Bathrooms were clean.
-In unit washer (keep in mind Italian washers take at least 3 hours to cycle) with clothes drying pins on the balcony and outside some windows.
-Location is awesome! The main attractions are all walkable and the trains are a 10 min walk away. Bike rental and laundromat on the same street. Shops, restaurants, small markets all close by. Really anything you need is less than a ten minute walk away.
Cons:
-Beds could use improvement. Not very sturdy. Mattresses are thin. If you are a sensitive sleeper these beds might not be most suitable.
-Generally clean unit but some areas could use a deeper clean.
-There was one main key for the unit door and two for the building door. So you have to coordinate that with the rest of your party. I didn’t ask Federico about a second key so maybe they do offer that. It wasn’t a big deal for us.
-No elevator so keep that in mind. The hallways had a musty smell which is probably expected with an old building.
-No contact free check-in
I’m listing all these cons not necessarily because they were an issue for us. Just want to provide anyone with all the details you could use.
Overall this was a great place to stay and I recommend it!
