If you’re aiming to stay in the heart of Florence, this is your spot. Incredible location and a *perfect* jumping-off point for just about anything you’d want to do in the city. The view from the terrace simply cannot be beat; if you’re wondering if it’s worth it - it’s worth it.
Both check-in and check out were very simple which was nice and Stefania left a small surprise waiting in the apartment, which I won’t spoil here.
Now for the less than perfect parts.
The main shower head did not work properly, forcing us to take showers using only the handheld shower head, which was irritating and not something you expect to deal with given the per-night cost of this space. This issue was raised with the host and after seemingly acknowledging that there was a problem, she did not bother to fix it and we never heard from her again.
Another thing travelers should take note of: There are strict warnings about making noise after 11pm, yet sometime around 11:30pm was right around when the noise began each night in the apartment above this AirBnB. We put together the theory that this was almost certainly an employee of the restaurant since the timing lined up with about a half hour after its closure. It’s also possible that the space above this apartment is another AirBnB which could explain the nightly noise but, this is all speculation; I just think it’s fair to alert others of the experience we had. These things certainly didn’t ruin our time there but, they were noteworthy drawbacks to an expensive stay.
Once again, I can’t stress enough how incredible the view and location are, and how comfy the space is - absolutely magical. But, fellow travelers be aware - if you’re a light sleeper or anything breaks while you’re there, there may be small challenges for you to contend with.
