Our room in the M&B guest house was the biggest one of four available (no.1), so it was very spacious with a little balcony which offers nice view on the street below. It was pretty perfect and as pictured. :) Some of the reviewers mentioned noise, but it was rather quiet when we stayed there and we had no trouble sleeping at night. There is some minor traffic noise that is normal for any central location and it is nothing to complain about. Apartment is close to the Santa Maria Novella station, so it isn't a problem to take day-trips if you are staying in Florence for a few days. You need approx 15 minutes to get to the Duomo and other main attractions by foot. We stayed there in March, and temperature in the room was ok. Since you don't share apartment with hosts, but with tourists that rented other rooms, it is in a way like a regular hotel. But don't worry, you have your own privacy. :D Matteo and Brenda aren't living here, but they come by daily to the property to do some cleaning in the shared area and leave some free goodies for breakfast in the kitchen (croissants, juice etc). We haven't seen them much, but they waited for us on the arrival and gave us the warm welcome, even though we missed the local train and were a half hour late. They were available 24/7 via whats app for any questions, which is no problem since the wi-fi signal is good. Bed and leather sofa were comfortable, and room had a big fridge inside which was very convenient. There were even some drinks which you could purchase at reasonable prices. Shared bathrooms were very clean and included hairdryer and other necessities. Kitchen is cute and well equipped, we had the ability to chat there over the cup of coffee every morning in peace which we as Balkans really appreciate. There is also another balcony adjacent which overlooks the inner courtyard, and where you could go for a smoke. Overall, a lovely room and a splendid five nights stay in Florence. It was a great value for the price and a place I would recommend for anyone visiting this picturesque city. :)
