    Great location near the train station, but a bit loud at night

    There was a lot of street noise at night as the window did not seal properly. This is not a dislike, but just something to note, the property did not have an elevator, and we had to walk up three flights of stairs. But we noticed this and other accommodations during our European stay.

    The location on the property was very good close to train station as well as local shops and restaurants. Location is also close to public transportation, so it was easy to get around the city. Location had a full kitchen with utensils, and a nice size bath.

    There is a kitchen but literally no kitchenware… even no cup. Just two single plates. The apartment is old and smelly ( the smell gets bad if you close the window). Also there was no washing machine even though the description says otherwise. And I specifically chose this apartment to do laundry.

    The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to the city centre and to the grocery stores. The room has private bathroom. Value for the money was kind of ok, since it wasn’t expensive one.

    I know mattresses are a very individual thing but this one was really really firm. Sleeping on the floor would have been more comfortable. And a little thing, it has a good kitchenette but for some reason only has one cup and one glass.

    No fuss entry arrangements, easy walk from the train station and then back into central Florence. Great caffe right next door .

    TV doesn't work. There were a specific odours that weren't very pleasant but they come and goe and we didn't spend that much time in the apartment. Toilet paper was provided only at the beginning of our 6 day stay and towels too. We could probably ask but didn't.

    We liked that there was a kitchen in the room, bed was OK, location is 20 mins walk from the city centre and 15 min from the train station. There is a restaurant and market just arround the corner. Overall it was great!

    Rather run down - a number of things needing repair, but acceptable. No power point in kitchenette (have to put kettle on floor), trim falling off inside toilet door, wall quite damaged, ceiling fan noisy. Bit surprised that there is a sign on the wall offering a free nights accommodation in exchange for a 10 star review.

    Good location - easy walk to station and main areas of interest.

    There is a very small table and no sockets near it and i needed to work with my notebook so i had to work on the floor/bed which was uncomfortable. The corridor had a strong smoke smell but not noticeable inside the room.

    Has a minibar, kitchenware and a washing machine it was great for our 1 week stay Bed was good, not much noise and we could reach the places we wanted to go by walking

    Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with our stay for several reasons. Upon our arrival in Florence, we received a message informing us that we could keep our luggage in another accommodation called Hotel Bellavista, which we understand is owned by the same owner. We went there to store our luggage before checking in into our accomodation and were impressed by the presentation and cleanliness of Hotel Bellavista. We assumed that since Buonarroti is owned by the same management, we could expect a similar quality and cleanliness at our accommodation. However, when we arrived, we were very disappointed. The room was in need of a deep clean. The walls and floor were dirty, and the shower had hair from the previous guest. The mirror had not been cleaned and had marks and splashes from the previous guest. The dishes and cutlery were also dirty, and the plates had food remains on the back. The cutlery was not properly washed either, and various spoons and knives had food remains. We believe these dishes were poorly washed by the previous guest and then not cleaned or sanitised by the accommodation staff before our arrival. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, but there is a sign by the front door that prohibits washing clothes inside the room. Perhaps this sign needs to be updated if this is a mistake. We’ve also noticed the sign next to the door that encourages guests to publish a positive review in exchange for a free night to be used in the next year. We think this is misleading and has encouraged guests to publish false or inflated reviews in the hope of obtaining something in return.

    Good location.

    Nothing, everything was amazing!

    Everything about the property was super nice! We loved the rooms, the well-equipped kitchenette and the availability of a washing machine. The host also extended our check out time by an hour after we told them of our transport plans. We highly appreciate it. After 2 days of living in the chaos in the heart of Florence, this was a much needed respite with a tram a few 100m away.

    When I arrived, I was not told that the building's entry code had changed and I stood outside for about 15 minutes waiting to contact them. When I went up, I discovered that my room had changed from the one I had been told via message. In my room, there was a LARGE MOLD STAIN next to the bed and there was another stain in the bathroom too. Also, there was a sign in the room that promised a free night in exchange for a 10 star review, which I'm not sure is really fair.

    I liked the quiet location and the size of the room. In the fridge we found a beer and cold water.

    The 4 flights of stairs up to it were a bit tiring, the bed and bedding need upgrading, the wardrobe needs fixing and the leaking ceiling is the worse thing as it flooded the bathroom.

    It was a fair distance into Florence but we like walking so it was handy really. It was clean and had a nice view onto the monument outside, the shower was good.

    The wall was covered in mold which was disgusting, trash bin was broken, air conditioner was not working (it was fixed after a day). Also, if you close the window, the smell is unbearable because of the mold.

    Very good for the price we paid, and as a handy tip, you can park your car in the paid parking slightly up the road. Overnight parking was €20 which was reasonable considering it's Florence.
