Do not book here. The owner of this B&B is rude, racist, and violated Expedia’s terms and conditions. Worst experience of my life. The staff are very unhelpful and aggressive. The photos do not reflect the actual state of the room; the photos are very deceitful. Save yourself the headache and book anywhere else. Florence is a beautiful city, it would be a shame to waste your time and money here.

Great location. Good price. Nice unit. Helpful manager. One thing that was confusing was the check in time stated on listing. Listing stated check in was 6:30 to 7:30 am only, which seemed really odd. The actual check in time period was actually in afternoon.

The location is GREAT right in the middle of Firenze! The staff is less than interested in the details of paperwork. The room was nothing like the one in the photo I saw when I book the place. There English skills are not as good as I encountered in my other accommodations on this trip. I was charged twice and am now in the middle of trying to get a refund. The owner is less than enthusiastic in getting the refund to me. All this said, the location for the price is what makes the place worth the money.

Overall OK, but no more than OK. Alittle nousy due to close proximity of rooms. Host was very nice but had to ring bell from sidewalk for about 10 minutes before anyone showed up.

They got a number of apartments so the one you get may not be the same as the ones I'm reviewing. We got 2 apartments and they're about 5 minutes apart. Both are in excellent locations, within several minutes walk from Duomo (and almost everything else). You can't beat the locations. Our bigger unit got a full kitchen; there's an express Carrefour right around the corner so we cooked everyday. The bigger unit is very spacious; the other one is a bit small. A cleaning lady comes everyday so the rooms are always clean. The gentleman who manages these apartments is quite cold (that's probably why quite a few people didn't give him good reviews) and he's very strict with the 7pm deadline for check-in (we saw people getting there at 8pm, couldn't check-in & had to leave). But he is very professional. He was very prompt in response to our requests/needs; he was meticulous in explaining our final bills with all the mandatory taxes by city; quite an honest man. Seriously, I'm not in Florence looking for a best buddy. I'd totally prefer dealing with an efficient, honest, if a bit cold manager like this gentleman. Next time in Florence we'd definitely stay here again!

Nice hotel next to a lot of sites
My main complaint about this hotel is figuring out how to get in and actually checking in. It shares a building with other companies and/or apartments. When I finally found it and tried to buzz in, there was no response. Someone was leaving so I let myself in. When I carried my suitcase to the 3rd floor, there was no open door for the hotel area. It took trying to make some phone calls and talking to others coming and going to finally get to the right door and making contact with the owner. When you've been traveling and you're exhausted, this is extremely frustrating. There was also no one available at check-out, so I had to leave the keys in an open and empty room. Having said that, the room itself is comfortable. The A/C is nice. The toilet is external, which is a little different, but not the end of the world. It's a tight fit and a little cramped. However the location is quite nice, as you are next to or near some main attractions. There are many restaurants nearby as well.

Great place in Heart of Florence Old Town w LIFT
Very glad we found this place not just we got upgraded to apartment by surprise! The best of the best is they have lift! Very hard to find any guest house with lift inside Florence old town! The place is clean, bed is comfortable! The place is run by a guy who seems around 60s, he provides good services as long as you don't make too many requests out of his normal routine! We like this place and highly recommended to other guests and will stay again if we return Florence again in future!

The AMAZING Sani Tourist House
This, by far was the best place we stayed in Italy. The staff are some of the most friendly and helpful people we encountered in Europe. This hotel is perfectly located in the city area, which makes it a very short walk to any of the sights you are wanting to see.

Extend your stay at Sani
My first two nights I was in the Sani House. The next night I was in a location around the corner and it was an apartment that was 2 levels. I would recommend booking the apartment. It has a kitchen and the bathroom is huge! The maid is so very sweet and incredibly helpful. She didn't speak any English and my Italian is not the best but we managed. She even helped "move me in" to the apartment, it was so kind. Important to note, check in ends at 8pm. When you're outside the building, there are 2 buzzers for Sani, hit the one on the far right!

Superb location
Fantastic location right in the centre but on a very quiet street, room quite compact, shower and toilet were tiny, but for a place to crash after a long of day sightseeing , for the price it's ok. Breakfast in nearby patisserie very nice.

You get what you pay for...
Place was clean, but very old with a very uncomfortable double bed and a set of bunk beds in a 3rd floor walkup! Window looked out onto an inner courtyard which was the back of a restaurant, therefore late night and early morning clanging of pots and pans and kitchen smells. 2 nights was enough, but very close to city centre which is what we wanted. Taxis apparently do not go to individual small hotels/B&Bs so had to walk to City Square taxi stand.

Excellent location and host
Great accommodation for two friends travelling on budget. The host was friendly, helpful and he has been welcoming visitors to Florence for a long time. He is a wealth of knowledge.The location is fabulous within walking distance of all the main Piazzas. We were in the apartment not the main house. The room was clean and comfortable and inviting for a guest house. It is not a full service hotel, nor were we expecting that.This is an older guest house filled with character and an owner who truly cares about his guests enjoying their stay.Overall a positive experience and great value for the money.

All is Well That Ends Well
Because of a delay of two hours to our EasyJet flight from Luton, we were going to miss the 7,30 PM cut-off for check-in,and were facing the prospect of waiting tired and burdened with our luggage until 10 PM for the owner to return from dinner. However, he was delayed from leaving because he had to check in a large group from Russia, and once we met him the owner could not be more affable and gave us a couple of useful tips as to gelaterias and restaurants. Both of our rooms had dedicated shower rooms which were tiny (one en suite, one just outside) but serviceable. I recommend you bring your own toiletries (as we had), but the small soap bars and shower gel sachets were just about adequate. The accommodation was well-worn, with bits coming apart and the air conditioning in our room dripping, but the owner clearly attached importance to cleanliness, got us a fan and tried to get in an engineer to fix the AC (which did not happen during our stay). The breakfast vouchers introduced us to a charming cafe nearby, and the guest house could not be better located. Next time (there will be a next time, we hope) we will take an early flight and stay again at the guest house.
