Let's start off with the good, the location is great and as many reviews have said the rooms are very clean.  However, location comes with its own bit of problems.

If you are looking for a place to stumble out of the bar and go to rest your head, this is the place for you.  But if you are bringing a family, this place is really loud with street/foot traffic.  Even with the windows closed, there's a fair amount of noise all night.  But our experience didn't stop there, we secured our reservation on Airbnb and was told it was an entire place with a kitchen.  Come to find out its more like a hostel with a community kitchen that is only available to the staff, until we told them we were promised a kitchen.  Then they accommodated. The other issue we had was, we reserved the room as 4 adults and only received 1 1/2 pair of keys for the place.  So you either had the keys to the room door or keys to the downstairs door but not both.  

Overall, terrible night sleep, because of the foot traffic and the forgot to mention squeaky doors and felt ripped off because it wasn't advertised differently then what we recieved.

Great Location, but comes at a cost!!!

Very friendly lady who came even late by night and explained everything. Well, we had to pay extra for late check in but it was ok for the effort. 
The only issue was that it was cold in the room. It was a big room so probably more difficult to heat but the only heater i saw was in the bathroom. And the aircon in the room was not working.
Otherwise the location is perfect if you want to wake up early and walk to the museums. 
There is an expensive parking nearby but if you want you can take your chances for a night and park on the next street (not at the street of the apartment as buses start early in the morning). 
We did not have breakfast as there were so nice places around to enjoy the italian specialties.

Very good location

The most inconsiderate host. No where were check-in hours posted. The site simply says to arrange prior... which we did. After agreeing to check  us in after they supposedly closed and agreeing to payback a 20 euro fee, The host left us stranded at 8 at night. We had to walk to a nearby hotel with our luggage and hope they had room for us. Because the don't accept cancellations we won't get refunded.

Worst experience - Stay away

As we were to arrive in Florence at 10 am, I made a request  on Oct 5 to have the luggage dropped off at this B&B at 10.30 am, as the official check in is after 12. The owner emailed us back that we could check in at 10.30 am on Oct 6.  Now I would like to provide you with an overview of the harrowing time we had at this B&B.

Getting to the B&B which was located on the 3rd floor was ridiculous. We arrived outside the building at 10.20 am, buzzed the B&B and the call was unanswered. We finally managed to get into the building, to the 3rd floor and there was no one to open the door to the B&B, to let us in.  We had to wait on the dinghy stairs for 15 minutes for the owner to arrive. I attempted to call him  on the advertised telephone number, and the call went into voicemail. He showed up at 10.45 am, did not apologize for coming late, and the room was not ready. 

Through some of his broken English we understood that the room would be ready later in the day. When we returned to our room in the afternoon, the air conditioning did not work and the thermostat was inoperable. This meant we had to open the windows of our room only to be preyed upon by mosquitoes. The noise levels from the street were deafening. We did not sleep two nights in a row. The wi-fi in the room did not work. There were no toiletries in the washroom and the shower water pressure is a trickle. There was no one we could reach out to as this B&B has no reception/front desk and nobody on-site to assist. 

The free "breakfast" is a total joke. There was nothing. When we returned to our room the evening, the room was not cleaned. 

The owner is rude, could not care less. In this day and age customer service is key for a business to shine. The owner of this B&B is unfamiliar with this concept. We have traveled extensively and stayed at many B&B’s, hotels and even hostels. This was the worst ever.


Do not stay at this B&B in Florence

We booked this hotel 2 months in advance and sent an email confirming, which was repplied. Less than 24 hours before the check in they sent another email saying “we have no room for you, cancel the reservation”. Reading some other reviews one could notice this is usual practice for this B&B. We called them and a man (who didn’t identify himself, but acted like the owner) shouted “no room” and “not my problem” repeatedly.
Honestly, don’t risk it!

They cancel your reservation the day before you arrive

Very good location. Good experience with this hotel. Parking around may be difficult to find.

The B&B is in a perfect location especially if you are only visiting florence for a few days. All the 'must-see' places are within a short walking distance- markets, museums, restaurants etc.The room was clean and comfortable and there is a great view from the terrace. Only down side was that we weren't able to control the air conditioning temperature and the room was too cold. Besides that, was a great stay!

Great location, convenient, comfortable and clean

The room that we had was big and the shower was working well. However, the owners on the second night (out of three) realized that they tought we only booked for 2 nights when we booked in fact for 3. We were moved to another similar B & B without cost, but we had to pack our bags and look for it. Also, the husband first did not even explain anything and only told us that we were to leave on the third morning because it was already booked.2 Minor points, 1-it was written breakfast included when it was in fact not included. 2-The A/C was working well but there was an one hour timer that neither I or the owner was able to remove so the A/C kept shutting down after a hour.

Nice B & B but overbooking by the owner

Lady Florence was overall a great stay. Only one point: the breakfast was quite not a breakfast! Basically you got nothing in the common area... just a kind of coffee, tea, and kind of cornflakes.. the positive point is obviously the location which is in the heart of Florence.Be careful guys if you drive a car. The b&b is located in a traffic limited zone, which means you got to park very far away. (45mn walk) or you can pay a parking (20 euros per day)

Great location in Florence

We were not pleased with our stay at Lady Florence at all. Aside from a sizeable room and a great location, we have no other positives to say about staying here. Our check in process was rediculous. We have no idea how we would have gotten in to the building had it not been for the random person walking out. We rang the bell for 10 minutes and we're unable to call the owner  because we were only using wifi on this trip, not cellular data. Once the owner arrived, he was very unfriendly and claimed I didn't have a reservation, yet I had my printed reservation with me. 15 minutes later, everything was "okay". The day we were checking out, we heard a different reservation buzzing for 10 minutes as well trying to get in. The set up of this B&B is odd, more like a hostel. You get checked in, are given the keys and don't see the owner again. Lady Florence lists "free breakfast" yet we were told nothing about it, never found it, and there was no one there to ask about it. Lastly, and possibly the most important during July in Florence, the air conditioner seemed to be on a timer. After 20 minutes it turned off and got very hot in the room. All in all, if you are only looking for a good location, then this is the place for you. We however, would not stay here again if you paid us.
