Comments (English):
A friend and I stayed at Aily Home in November, 1960, because "Nina" had recommended it, and my travel mate marked it in her Europe on $5 A Day, which she still has. We loved it! Our third had left us in Munich to come to Florence alone, but we hung around Munich to buy a VW an drive to Florence. We missed him. We settled into Aily Home, a big, light room with a big bed and wonderful people to help us get around in Florence. Our first goal was to reuinte with our third. We wandered a bit in the area and came to the US Library. Ah, friend said, that's where he would me. We wandered in. We found him. The three of us had a grand meal in the neighborhood, returned to our room and all 3 jumped into the big bed. The Third had another hotel..but the statue of David in the courtyard, the great windows and bed and bathroom and the amazing location. We paid $1.20 per night. What a wonderful memory I have of Aily Home.

A chegada ao albergue foi confusa, e ele parece um apartamento arrumado como albergue. A localizaçao é excelente.

Comments (English):
The hostel is fairly easy to find, an easy walk from the train station. Great shower with hot water. However... We arrived in the evening and planned ahead with a 9pm arrival time given in our reservation. We were an hour early and saw a sign outside the door saying "For Hostel please call Nadia" with a phone number. So we looked for a phone, found one that took change near the Palazzo Vecchio, and could not get ahold of Nadia for almost three hours. Finally around 11 someone that worked there happened to be going in for something, offered to take us up and show us our room. Pretty much ruined our first night. Then the next night the same person informed us that the same "nadia" said we owed 160 euro instead of the 120 we had paid for the 3 nites of our stay. We again had to sit around and wait for this to be resolved. Apparently it was Nadia being nadia, according to the other worker, and our original payment was accurate.

I had a wonderful experience while at Aily. The staff was incredibly caring, flexible, and accommodating. They helped me get through a pinch when my credit card was stolen and I had to wait to have a new card shipped to me. Nino always has suggestions about where to go and what to do, and they take the time to get to know their visitors. It is also nice to be able to come and go whenever you please from the hostel and have access to the kitchen. All of the other visitors were friendly and ready to explore the city together. This was a wonderful place to stay while traveling alone and I recommend it to anyone going to Florence.

We reserved Aily house on recommendation from a 2-year old edition of Lonely Planet...apparently a lot has changed it 2 years. We arrived as scheduled at 9 a.m. only to find the main door locked and no way in. There was a sign that said "if no answer call...."there was a number, but who backpacks from the states and brazil with a cell phone? Not us, at least. Luckily, some backpackers inside heard us and let us in, then let us use their phone to call the manager. A few minutes later, a very Nice man showed up to tell us he had nothing until 2:30. So, he offered us a room across town for 25 Euro each. We were desperate, so we accepted. What we got was a hard climb up 6 flights of stairs in a very old, damp building to a small, dingy room. We were promised a "big" bed but what we got was barely bigger than a single and we could feel the springs in our backs. NO airconditioning but there was a fan. No kitchen. I have to say the place was just too expensive for what we got and the only thing good about it was the friendliness of the staff. The next night, we booked Hostel Santa Monaco, which was much better all around.
