Homelink Firenze - The Key

Great value for money, fantastic location, clean room. Old plumbing system, pipes making some noise.

Apartment is close to the train station which is what we needed as we had a very early train to catch the next day. Very comfortable bed. Host was super friendly and helpful. Nothing in the kitchen besides a fridge (no kettle, stove, microwave, cutlery etc). Wouldn’t recommend to stay here for more than a night. I feel like it is overpriced for what you get. If you do stay here, definitely book the room with the private bathroom like we did.

The host was very nice and suggested us near by places to eat and visit, and the location was great near the train station and public transport, there wasn’t any noise during our stay. There were a lot of mosquitoes and bugs even though there was a charging bug defending device, we git bitten by a lot of them. There was also a heavy smell. the apartment was old and needs proper renovations. The shower stream was not properly installed since they divided the rooms of 1 apartment into 4 and added the toilet and shower externally. There wasn’t any kitchen or equipment other than a very small fridge.

Closeness to the public transport The noise from tram is very loud, girl in next room was loud to. Accommodation was to expensive for what it was. For the less money is very nice hotel in historic centre including the breakfast ( Borghese Palace Art hotel).

Location and cleanliness Kettle to make tea would have been nice in the room

When I arrive at late night, staff here is very supportive to wait us. We are allowed by her to enter the building. However, all lights are off and elevator didn't work so we had to claim 3 floors with luggage into the dark. Hard to open the door and find lobby light. We feel a bit scare since we feel no person inside building: (

mattress, small bathroom, noisy water. not able to ask for extra pillow. No parking. old window shower very dangerous. shower floor very high, no handle to help to get out or in, floor very slippery.

Very good

The location is great- convenient to walk to the tram and the kebab place on the corner is yummy. I had a shared bathroom but it was kept clean and was convenient to use. The elevator worked fine once I learned to shimmy the key a bit. I loved being able to hear the tram and it was nice to have a window that opened so I could listen to the sounds in the city if I chose to or close it if I wanted to enjoy some solitude. I felt safe walking at night, even by myself. There is a refrigerator available for storing things if needed. I used the table in the common area several times for making travel plans and for sharing a meal with my son who is studying abroad in Florence. It's a quaint little place and I enjoyed my stay. The manager was quick to respond to messages. The keyless entry is nice- if you miss the code 3 times just wait, it will reset. Once you get the hang of things it's quite easy to navigate the doors, the lights and the elevator. The tram is easy to use and is always on time. I wasn't sure how to go about swapping my towels out so I hung them on a chair in my room each night and reused them until I was able to see the housekeeper to swap them out. Not a big deal with the towel, but an extra washcloth would have been appreciated. My room listing said it had a full size bed and a twin bed. It only had a full size bed. It was a good size for me, but the extra room I expected would have been helpful when unpacking and packing. The bus stop is convenient, but the bus doesn't come on time or at all sometimes- take the tram or walk. Sometimes it is easier to walk and you get to enjoy more of the city that way too! I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.

The room was comfortable and clean! The "tram" station was 4 minutes far and the train 12. Sofia was very helpful and with good suggestions. I recommend downloading WhatsApp because the communication was way easier. In general it was value for money.

The location The bathroom had hairs on the floor. The bathroom door handle broke while my girlfriend was showering and it injured her foot as she was getting out.

It is not made clear on the booking that the double room is with a shared bathroom. Check in was remote, quick response but not the most straightforward. Room was very hot and extremely noisy during the night with the tram. Room was not up to the level as shown in the photos. No headboard, extremely run down.

Very good

Clean and looks quite nice. Very good value for money The water stream was awful, barely flowing but still manageable.

The room was really nice, the owner too and is near to center. It could be better if there were dishes, forks and knifes.

The bed was comfy. The instructions from staff were clear and useful. Good central location. There's no A/C. The fan was not working untill I fixed it. Even then it was still rather warm.

The location was superb The communication to the hosts was only via Whatsapp. The room wasn't clean at all.

The shared bathroom but it is what it is.

The host was very friendly and helpful, flexible about check in time, the bathroom was clean The bed was extremely uncomfortable, both me and my husband has a strong back pain and had to take ibuprofen. The lift didn't work downstairs, only upstairs, so every time you needed to walk up two floors to take the lift down and be able to use the lift at all. Shared bathroom is not ideal. We have stayed in Florence for 6 years twice a year on tradeshows and this is the worst value for money we have had for sure.

It was clean. Located near railway. Administration for confirming booking was very poor. Phone number provided was not able to use in English. Made it very confusing and stressful. I wanted to cancel but policy wouldn't allow.
