We enjoyed visiting florence for 12 days very much.
Pros
1. The location is great central & very quite.
2. The host kindly ordered us a taxi for our departure- to thank her for her kindness we left our nearly new Lonely Planet "Florence and Tuscany guidebook" for her future guests.
Cons
However there were many things about the apartment that were less than ideal. It is probably fine for 1 or 2 nights but not for 12 nights.
1. Arrival - we found the numbering on apartments confusing. There was no mobile reception in the street so we couldn't call the host to clarify.
2. The code for wifi in the information was wrong & QR reader didn't work. We eventually found the right password.
no mobile coverage in apartment
3. Partner stood on a glass fragment on the kitchen mat within hours of arrival. Broken glass from the previous tenants- not cleaned properly before we arrived
4. Toilet cover was broken- this
