Friends Of Florence

Bathroom wasn't inside the room. Not really an issue, just different. We didn't need to share the bathroom and it was 2 steps away!

Staff was very friendly. Location was great, away from crowded touristy areas but still a close walk. Great restaurants and stores nearby.

The location was amazing and it was very spacious The bed sheets were too small and the shower water did not stay hot for long

Claudio was a superb host. He took time to show us where to go and where to eat. We loved the location, right across from Boboli Gardens. We enjoyed having a small kitchen to prepare meals. There was mold in shower. We had some issues with the bedding.

There was a lack of room service, however we were told it would not be daily.

Excellent host who met us at the property and gave us all the info we needed about the city upon arrival. Bathroom is quite small. No hot water pot to make tea in the evening.

Located a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio but still very quiet. The room was rather small, but had a table and chairs and an en suite bathroom. Simone who greeted us when we arrived suggested a walk to the Sant ‘Ambrogio market and back via Michelangelo Piazza which was wonderful. We found great places to eat near the market and the view of Florence from the piazza was magnificent. We asked for a kettle and mugs and these were immediately provided. The pillows were too soft for my liking, but I add a cushion and they were acceptable. Very little to dislike, pleasant stay.

I really enjoyed the location of this property. Super walkable with great restaurants nearby. I also thought that the owner was super friendly and had great recommendations. He was also super responsive. The wifi didn’t work for the whole time. It would only work for an hour a day or so and sometimes not at all. This was very frustrating because in the building we also couldn’t get service. If I needed to text anyone including to text the owner that the wifi wasn’t working I would have to step out of the property.

At the first night of our stay there was a drunk man and while coming back from toilet tried to open our room’s door by mistake and it made us scared in the middle of the night for several times. And doors were not looking that safe. We thought even if he tried hard, he could break the door easily. Just a normal inside door but not like a hotel room number.

lovely location and friendly host who gave us lots of advice about where to go and what to do.

Bathroom was good. Location good. Room Ok Better connection with Wifi. TV was not good:Too many channels with not appropriate shows

The host was very polite, kind, and helpful. He gave us good tips about the city and was always responsive. The location was also very convenient — close to the main attractions and easy to get around. Unfortunately, the room itself was a huge disappointment. It was located behind the reception desk — basically in the back area of the reception — while all other guest rooms were on upper floors. It honestly felt like we were staying in the staff quarters. No facilities also, no kettle, no water to drink. Just a room with a bed and table with chairs. The room was advertised as having a private bathroom, but in reality, the toilet and shower were in a shared corridor used by other people (apparently staff). We often ran into people coming from the shower — sometimes half-dressed — and once someone even used our “private” bathroom. There was no soundproofing at all. We could hear every noise from reception, people walking, using the toilet, and someone playing the piano upstairs for hours every evening. The bed also creaked so loudly that it woke me up several times during the night. The worst part — one morning we got locked inside the hotel because the door between the reception and our room was closed. We had to wait nearly 40 minutes for the host to come and unlock it, which made us miss breakfast and arrive late to the museum.

Great and friendly Host. Claudio, you are the best! Great Location, comfy bed, spacious room and well-cleaned. Would have preferred the bathroom inside the room since I get up multiple times in the night, but we managed just fine. Also, It could have been better to have access to cold and hot (for drinking) water in the middle of the night since all of the shops are closed. A kettle or a mini-fridge would have been great. Overall, It was a great place to stay. I would if I ever come to Florence again. None

The staff were incredibly kind, friendly and eager to help. Check-in was both smooth and punctual. There were many issues and problems - the Internet cut out at the most inconvenient time and there were literal power cuts during the day for up to 45 minutes. This really marred my stay and was so frustrating - the bathroom for the room is literally "down the hall" - this is super inconvenient. Why is the close bathroom allocated to the one room and the furthest bathroom allocated to the room at the end of the hall? It literally makes no sense. - the room is way overpriced given the state of the facilities

The bathroom was a bit small but was enough for us. We each had one thin pillow to sleep with. A second would have been nice. Besides that, bed was comfy!

The location was very convenient for exploring the area. The bed was also clean, comfortable, and provided a restful night’s sleep. Absence of a small refrigerator for water and snacks, as well as the lack of a kettle or coffee maker, was somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, the bathroom would benefit from shelves for toiletries and hooks for towels.

Location, air conditioning, good shower, friendly host who gave us some good recommendations - everything was great!

Location, proximity to grocery, dining, laundry and bus stop There were mosquitoes in the room

Perfect location! You can walk from your room to the most important sites of Florence!

Location is excellent and the host is super friendly
