Property location is convenient, close to train station and down town of Florance. But I didn’t like to be disturbed every night by random people ring the room bell after 12:00 am and talking loudly in the hallway.

Really lovely stay
Had a great time at this apartment. Don’t understand the negative reviews, it’s exactly as advertised. Yes, it might be a bit dated and not a marble palace but for the price and location it was very enjoyable. The kitchenette is very useful! Super convenient near the main station and easy walk to all attractions. You are in a busy location so expect a bit of noise at peak hours but once that dies down it’s really peaceful. Some people say it’s not clean but I found it to be very clean on arrival, maybe it’s the tiles, the type of tile used does look dirty but I can assure you walking around in white socks they stayed white! You will need to let the owner know your arrival at least 24 hours prior and I advise you plan to arrive within the check in hours for an easier experience (and cheaper) as it’s not manned 24 hours (it’s a small business people, not the Ritz). The best bit was the bed in my room, can’t speak of other rooms but the bed was so comfortable that I wanted to take the mattress home 😂. No smoking inside but who still does that anyways? Go outside! The bathroom was fine, practical and clean in my case. Treat the place with respect and you won’t have any issues. My only bit of construct feedback would be if they can invest in new doona/duvet covers that would be nice and slightly bigger towels, and if ever possible to paint the green bits- I feel these small improvements would really enhance the experience more but like I said it’s excellent value for money.

Early Arrivals are a huge inconvenience
Must make appointment after 3 p.m. to check-in. So early arrivals must check bags at the train station which is expensive. Toilet seat did not fit the toilet and kept falling off. Had to wait until after 3 p.m. to talk with someone the next day. It was NEVER fixed. Called the following day to ask about repair and was told there were no seats to replace that one. Then the manager blamed us for breaking the seat. I explained it did not fit to begin with, which he would have known if he had even looked at it. He refused to do anything about it during our stay. Outside is a lot of construction which seems to be the root of a terrible smell. No cleaning nor change of towels during stay!!!!

Mosquito Heaven
The person checking us in was not friendly nor welcoming. We were just another foreign customer being checked and there was no reason to be friendly (perhaps the man only check in American language and did not want to encourage conversation with a smile). When we arrived we opened the window to observe the enclosed court yard. It was dark and un kept. We immediately shut the window, and never reopened it. We got bitten by mosquitoes every night. We either let them all in, the one time we opened the window or they were in the corridors and rooms at all times. The room was clean and beds were ok. The shower had no stall nor tub, it was a depression in the floor tile and bathroom would flood with water, after showers. Check out is immediately at 10. Keys are instructed to be left in a box before or by 10. Someone shows up in a hurry at 10 to retrieve the keys and inspect the room. We will not choose Gemini studios again.

A nice place to stay
Location is good, just around 10 minutes walk from the train station. Spacious and clean, good for 3 persons to stay. There has supermarket and a lot of restaurants near the train station. Easy to buy food to make your own breakfast or dine out. If they can improve the washroom to have a close shower stall, it would be prefect. Right now the shower is with the toilet bowl together, after you take the shower the floor will get wet, if your slipper is the kind of one time use hotel slipper, when you use the toilet bowl later after the shower, you may get wet of your feet. Try to bring plastic slipper. The other thing is it is not that sound proof, you can hear people speaking in next room. But this is the structure work, Gemini cannot do anything on it. Therefore, if you are a light sleeper, you have to aware this and may be considered to bring a pair of ear plug. Other than that, everything is good and value for money.

Old and Dated
Firstly the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors talking. Our room had a terrible smell much like an open sewer that we couldn’t get rid of. No point going to the office to ask for a different room because once we checked in the office worker promptly disappeared. There is no shower just a space between the toilet and bidet with a shower curtain around it. The hot water service is inside the bathroom which meant it’s like a smelly sauna if you don’t leave the extraction fan on. The iron in our room had exposed bare copper wiring on the lead so we decided not to use it! For the price we paid, we were very disappointed.

3 blocks close to train station with kitchen
This studio is close to train station, it is a nice and quite studio. It has a small kitchen. If you are going with children you will save a lot! Small market are a block away outside the train station, buy pasta and cook. There is another market but 5 blocks away there, ask the receptionist. If you are a couple and do not need to cook, at the corner you have a cafeteria $3.50 and around the corner you have a delicious restaurant, the Lady-Owner is super nice and the prices are great $8.00+.they have gelatto, too. If you are early for check-in, go there with your luggage and eat while waiting for the receptionist to open the studio. They need to improve the air condition system but even of that, it was good.(They informed they will buy new ones).32C in July. If you need a phone, the receptionist can help you to contact your tour. He is very helpful.

Conveniently located barely habitable room.
Bedsheets and towels were not changed over multiple days. The plumbing was cheap plastic that just came apart when the sink was used. No phones on premises. TV provided but the electrical extension had a loose contact. Seriously underpowered premises. Cant use the hotplate and a hair dryer sumultaneously. Likewise your spouse cant use the hairdryer if you want hot water for a bath. Visitors are strictly advised not to adjust the central temperature controls, however temperature is not maintained. Gets very cokd at night and unpleasantly warm in the day. The mattress and cot sagged so much, i fell off the bed once! Nearest laundromat a km away.
