Great location.
This accommodation is ideally located, as it is in the heart of a busy locality with plenty of markets and supermarkets. The supermarkets are ideal for the self-catering aspect of the accommodation. There are plenty of eating options available around. This accommodation is also very convenient for the railway station, Santa Maria Novella, which is just a five minute walk away.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast not included.
Although this is actually a budget accommodation, there are some who feel that it is a rather expensive option as breakfast is not included in the overnight stay tariff.
negative:
Located on third floor.
This accommodation is located on the third floor of a building, for which there is no elevator/lift service. Therefore, it is probably suitable accommodation only for those who are young and fit, or at least guests with minimal luggage, as coming here requires one to carry suitcases and bags up a lot of stairs.
negative:
Needs a watchful eye.
Although, as a budget accommodation, it ticks all the boxes, it is felt that the management could be a little more thorough in checking it over every so often and ensuring that there are no missing items (like plugs from sinks!) and inadequacies.
