Overall this place is a good value and Naike was very responsive to messages and offered some places to go to in Florence as well. The hardest thing for me was being right next to the train tracks. The room itself is spacious and comfortable, but the noise from the trains, even with ear plugs, made it tough for me to sleep at night. The other thing that was tough is that it is a 25 minute walk to the train station and 30 to 40 minutes to get to downtown Florence. This can be a drag when you have already walked all day and are heading back home. There are buses, trams, and taxis, and Naike told me which bus and tram number to catch, but I had a hard time finding a way to get an all day bus pass. If you are able to rent a bicycle, that would be the way to go, because there are great bike lanes from Naike’s place to downtown. It’s how most locals get around.
Otherwise the place itself was clean, had a full size kitchen and two bathrooms shared with other guests. If on a budget and you are a deep sleeper, then this place is for you.
