I had a great time in Florence and It was great to stay in Federica's House. Definitely didn't realise how close it was to everything!

Federica was very polite and it was easy and comfortable to arrange my booking. Unfortunately I was never able to meet her as she had to leave Florence, but she had organised her nice friend to take her place with all the necessary contact information, which was smooth and worked with no problems.

The house is nice and clean with good facilities.
When you arrive there is a prepared sheet with a map and listed landmarks, supermarkets, etc.. which is a nice surprise and gets you familiar with the area quick.
It was only a 5-10 minute walk to famous landmarks which was great, but It is quite a bit smaller then I had imagined, but being one person it was not a problem for me, but i if I was with someone else a longer stay may cause a problem. Supermarkets are far from the flat, which made it a bit of a chore if you are planning to eat in.

Frederica has some issues with the previous tenants, which resulted in a mandatory security deposit. I felt that given my booking was confirmed and agreed on with older terms I should not have been told I needed to provide one a couple days before. Never the less I could completely understand her concerns from dealing with her over email she is a nice so I wanted to find a compromise where we were both comfortable, which we did.

The only things that were a bit of an issue is the pizza place on the street was sometime noisy in the early hours and I was told to take my trash out at the end of my stay. It wouldn't of been much of an issue if it was at the bottom of the flat, but I was told I had to walk down the street and place it in one of the on street rubbish bins, but given they are hard to find I spent 15 minutes walking around with my bags trying to find one. This I feel is not something a tenant should have to do, but given this was not Federica's choice as she was not there I will write it down this is a one off case.

I would recommend this flat for short stays.

Thanks,

Dale.
