    Fridge would be an excellent addition, along with some drink ware.

    The courtyard is very nice to sit. Felt secure & staff are very friendly. Spotlessly clean. Close to tram which takes you into the city. A/C very good.

    You can definitely hear the city noise such as cars and buses very easily. However it’s nothing you cant really ignore or put a little white noise to blur it all out.

    The property is very close enough to the main attraction yet also far enough from touristy spots and noise. The property is so clean and Angelica is very accommodating to us!

    Great value for the price! The girl working the desk was super helpful and kind! We were able to check-in a little early and also leave our bags after checkout for a little bit. Terrace was nice and I wish we had had time to use it more! Easy 15 minute walk from the tourist stuff which made it far enough out to not feel like you were constantly in all the hassle.

    The shower was tiny and a little difficult to move in but the bathroom was big. The fridge was also very tiny and on the floor so not as accessible as other accommodation we stayed in.

    Great location, easy to find from the Santa Maria Novella station, just a 15 mins walk. Huge room with high ceilings and big beautiful windows with a view to the stunning Orthodox church next door. The terrace was massive and a great place to sit as the sun is setting with a drink and watch the bats take flight.

    There isn't much of anything to be negative about in this urban niche.

    The host was amazing and so helpful. Having had breakfast there was a pleasant experience since there is a very large terrace that accommodates a dozen tables (with plenty of sun). The room was beautifully clean. Very, very recommended. The bed there was so comfy, and I had a great sleep.

    The road was very noisy, it was difficult to sleep, and when opening the windows, the noise was overwhelming. Check in procedure a bit tricky since this has to be done remotely, but with instructions from the host on What's app, this was ok.

    Location a little apart from the touristed city centre. Felt safe to walk around. Room was very nice and big with everything needed. Cleaning was excellent, the room was cleaned every day. Nice and big terrace. I didn't have time to have breakfast but this was offered as room service, very nice. The host Angelica responded very fast on What's app.
