This apartment is relatively close distance to major site seeing attractions (with a beautiful view of the dome of the Duomo), and we really appreciated the AC, but lots of issues:
1. This is disclosed in the listing, but be aware there are 95 steps to reach this 5th floor apartment every time you want to come and go. We definitely got our exercise.
2. This unit is tired. The couch is worn, musty, and the paint has many stains, including mold, on it. I don't want to even think about the last time the comforters (only bedding provided other than sheets) were washed. Broken door handles, barely functional lock on the building's front door, etc.
3. When we departed after our 3 day stay, my daughters (who slept in one room and my husband and I slept in the other) were covered with insect bites. I'm praying that they're just mosquitoes.
Good things included the washing machine and drying rack, which allowed us to wash all our clothes midtrip, and the TV, DVD, and Wifi (all worked as expected). But this is a unit managed by a large company with over 100 apts in Florence, and it's managed as such.
