N4U Guesthouse would be the perfect place to stay except that the rooms are very noisy. All of the rooms face a busy street so there was some atmospheric noise coming from outside, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was noise from within. The guesthouse has private baths for each guest that are located down the hall from their corresponding room. From inside my room, I could clearly hear everything happening in the hallway, the loud echo of every step, every word, the fumbling of the old fashioned keys in the locks, the opening of the sqeaky old doors. I could even here what was going on inside the bathrooms, and I was across the hall. The noise was so loud I had to open my window to the street to try and drown out the interior noise. This would be an absolutely lovely place to stay at a great value if they can work out their acoustics problem. It was well managed, welcoming, and well maintained.

We really enjoyed the location of N4U. The little street that it was on was very cute. The horse and carriage rides would gallop below. The Duomo is very close along with restaurants and smaller museums (two across the street). Depending on the weather, it could get quite hot which would mean that the windows would have to be open (no central air).There was a nice breeze that came through but,noise on the street tends to ecko in from other parts of town.The red room had 13th century painting on the ceiling and 14th century chandelier.It was very unique.Everything was clean and even though the bathroom is not in the room, it is solely yours and just around the corner.It wasnt that big of a deal.And,a very nice,renivated bathroom i will say. Overall, we would stay again because of the nice location and uniqueness of the room.

We stayed 4 nights. The private bathroom down the hallway was a bit of a surprise, but in the long run, no great inconvenience. The hotel is on the 4th floor and there is no lift - again no great inconvenience - but you do need to be fit. The hotel is excellently located near all major attractions. A laundromat and supermarket (when you find it) are nearby. The room could only be described as spacious - it was big and there was plenty of room for three adults. Our welcome and booking in was very comprehensive.

I din´t enjoy my stay in this Guest house, is too much money that we paid for a poor service and a old building. It is incredible that they only change the bath towel only one time every five days!! We was in Firenze 4 days so they didn´t change towels.Rooms was noisily.This is my first bad experience for a Guest house.That´s a pity.
