Paola made the place feel like home. She explained where to go and recommended day trips as we were in Florence for 5 days. She was an awesome host.

Dominique Canada

This is a family business and the owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, including giving us tips & tricks on what to visit and where to get the best views of Florence. They also speak English very well. - The place is very clean, both the shared spaces and the private bedroom - The bedroom has views to the beautiful internal garden - Kitchen is shared and well equipped with everything you need, they also have a washing machine that you can use if needed - The property is central, there are lots of cafes and restaurants on the same street

Diana Romania

The friendliness of the staff, the location and the cleanliness! and the coffee!!

Omar Germany

Clean room and friendly staff! Paola and her son Roble made our vacation even much better - they left coffee capsules every morning at our room. In the shared kitchen there is an oven, washing machine, microwave and fridge - everything you need. Perfect location - 5mins to S.M.N train station and 5mins to the old center of the city and Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.
