The room is as it looks in the photos. You take one flight of stairs to get to the room. It wasn’t too bad to go up the stairs with my 2 large luggages. Location is also great! It’s only 5 min from Firenze SMN station and 10-15 min walk to other prime locations such as the Duomo. Like the other reviews mentioned, there is loud noise in the streets. However, when I closed the door to the bedroom it blocked out a lot of that noise. The only concern would be for anyone who may be sleeping in the living room. That will be likely very noisy. Also, the shower in the bedroom is very tiny. I am 5’5” and wear small/medium clothes and it felt tight to me. It’s so tight that there is nowhere to put a shelf in there so you must put your shampoo on the ground and all you can do in that shower is stand in one place. If you’re a small person it will be tight for you. If you’re a big person you will not be able to shower at all and will have to squeeze in the other shower. I felt safe staying here as you must go through 3 locked doors to get to your room. Host is also quick to respond as well. Two minor remarks is that:
- I wish they had better trash bins. They are so cheap and plastic that when I step on the pedal to open the lid the entire trash bin falls over. It’s annoying but not worth losing a star over.
- the pillows are very flat (I think like ~2inch height). If they are only going to have flat pillows I wish they at least provided 2 flat pillows so guests can have a choice. Some people cannot sleep well if the pillow is too flat.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. The location is wonderful and I would recommend others to stay here as well
