While I stay there I felt like home.

If you want very quiet and private staying it is good.But you don't expect staff's advice or with other traveler friendship. Because I met a staff just one time at check-in day but he is very kind. Location is good by walking you can go to city center and train station. If you find diffult the house you remember a sports wear shop just next door.

A very nice guest house, near the Santa maria Novella train station. It is not so far from the city center. The personal is really niceand helpful. They give you maps and hints concerning the places to visit and where you can eat and relax. I strongly reccomend this guest house and I'm sure you'll likw it.

Nice guesthouse, room is clean, with air cond, fridge outside. Ownver are friendly. He briefed us about the attractions in Florence and gave us a very detail map. Two washrooms outside, clean and tidy. Location wise is good, around 8-10 minutes walk from Firenze SMN. Overally, the best hostel we stayed during the Italy trip!

This was definitely one of the best hostel experiences I've had. The interior is lovely, and clean, and the lobby area is lined with helpful tourist information. The staff were very friendly, and it was pretty easy to walk the whole city from the hostel.

This guest house is just the BEST I have ever experienced ! I would definitely recommend it for its cosy and family-oriented atmosphere, very warm welcome, all the good tips the "Giglio team" left us to eat and drink for a cheap price in Firenze ! Above all, the place is clean and people there are very very friendly. You feel at home !

The only drawback is the breakfast, which is cold and quite light.

Go there if you visit the city so you won't miss a single attraction or good deal (and not touristic!) :)
