I booked last minute due to a change in my plans and was glad he was able to accomidate me.
The good:
The host made sure someone was there to check me in and explain the apartment to me.
This place was located not far from the train station, very easily walkable, only a couple of street blocks. The place is also walkable to all of the sights in Florence. Everything you need nearby including resturants, grocery, shopping, etc. all right there.
The place has a kitchen you can cook meals in if thats your thing. The apartment was a pretty decent size. There is also a hairdryer which is always a plus. The wi-fi was strong and of good quality, never cut out on me once and AC was a nice feature as well.
The building is in a very busy neighborhood but very quiet inside, you would never know you were right in the middle of the busy city life.
The bad:
The bed was not the most comfortable and the AC did not really make it to the bedroom, especially if you had to close the curtain in the bedroom if you were sharing it with friends and decided to utilize the privacy curtain. A portable fan would be a great added feature in the future to combat this issue.
The couch was stained and kind of looked yucky to be completely honest.
Also the bathroom has a bit of black mold as mentioned by a previous review but its an old building so its almost as if to be expected I feel like.
Overall however it was a nice place, the host was super good with getting right back to you with text/phone calls and the location was super close to everything you would need for your stay in Florence. I would stay here again if I ended up in Florence once more. The closeness to the train station is really what sealed the deal on my booking here, I am glad I stayed!
