The location is great, a small walk from main streets (uphill/stairs) so will be a hassle for anyone with walking problems or stroller (not us). The streets around are narrow so tough even for taxis to get to front door. You’d have to walk from the main streets.
Inside - the place is spacious. It needs a good cleaning - cobwebs, dust, floors, shower/bath, freezer. Some appliances/lights didn’t work for us but can be fixed. AC dripped and clear water damage on furniture which was a shame but can also be fixed. Wi-Fi didn’t work on upper level (where both bedrooms are) so a better extender is needed. Cellphone reception very bad inside the apartment. The shower curtain rod was held up by a zip tie. The jacuzzi didn’t work.
I’m 5’6” and standing in the bath tub (only place for shower) I’m eye to eye to a very dusty ceiling vent plus other dirt on wall. Taller people need to sit or bend down for shower.
The laundry situation needs to be fixed. The washer was outside, sitting in a dirty room, with dirt all over, mosquitoes buzzing about. The apartment is so large it can easily accommodate a washer/dryer inside?!
Mosquito was a problem for us. Probably some leaky windows and being on ground floor didn’t help. (Also cleaner left window open- but that’s a random error)
Basically if an eccentric aunt owned a nice old place in Florence without outside help, that’s how the place will look. Not unlivable but just not up to normal people’s standards.
Amenities - Random, tattered extra linens for bedroom, no kitchen towels, just one dish cloth.
