Good: david is a great host, very enthusiastic and gives you loads of recommendations and directions around the local area. The location is also really close to all the main attractions, max 20mins walk from anywhere really. There are 5 or 6 decent restaurants right around the corner. Florence is a beautiful city, I highly recommend!
Not so good: the bed is too hard (especially the pillows), the tv didn’t work, the shower is very small and basic.
Bad: this is advertised as a quiet area but be warned you can hear absolutely everything that happens in the street outside - walking, talking, mopeds racing up and down, trucks, even the shouting and partying we had to deal with one night, so bad that we had to call the police and make a noise complaint at 1.30am, it went on for over an hour we couldn’t take it any longer. I’m not a light sleeper, I sleep through even the worst thunderstorms, but 3 out of 4 nights we were woken up or kept awake by some sort of noise outside. I think the main issue is the windows are so thin they don’t block anything out. Obviously it’s not David’s fault as you can’t control what happens outside your building. We must have been extremely unlucky as no one else has really said this in their reviews.
