Great location for a base when exploring Florence and a good price. Right behind the market which made grabbing a bite always easy! Paolo was great to deal with and the apartment was very clean and had everything you will need including laundry detergent for washing. The air condition, ceiling fan in bedroom and wifi were great! Nice strong signal throughout the apartment.
That being said, you get what you pay for in some ways. Some things to consider....
We were more than 2 adults which was a bit tight but manageable, difficult with just one bathroom. 2 of us slept on the pull out couch in the den which was comfortable, however there are no dark curtains so the room is bright even at night. The carts from the market go down the alley where the apartment is and will most likely wake you if you sleep in the den, you can also hear them from the main bedroom. The alley also smells like sewage, and if you open the windows you will smell it inside.
The shower head was only one stream of water and was either very hot or cold.
Our biggest issues with the Mosquitos. We were up through the night dealing with them and we all have many bites. We checked that the windows were closed so we aren't sure how they were getting in, perhaps the time of year? But it was difficult to get a full sleep and when we woke up each morning we all had new bites.
Overall, the value is good and the location is unbeatable!
