Even when we made a decision of looking for a place that would at a walking distance from everywhere in Florence, I want to leave the following feedback for other guests' interest and as an opportunity for the host to improve:
Pros:
This place has a superb location. We loved being at a walking distance from almost everything in Venice.
The main bed is large and comfortable. The sheets are super white and clean. *Sweet!*
The bathroom was recently redesigned and it looks quite well.
The stove worked like a charm, as well as the heating, water, microwave and washing machine.
The main room has a nice drawing of Florence and there was enough clean kitchenware for all 4 of us to use.
Wifi worked all the time.
Cons:
During the night and early in the morning, you can hear the neighbors laughing, talking and walking. They will probably wake you up once or twice per night.
The laundry room has a strong smell to it, so it's important to keep it closed. It doesn't have a ceiling, nor a dryer, so you'll need to dry your clothes inside if it rains.
The couch looked dusty and there were spiderwebs on the corners of the ceiling.
Even when the bathroom was redesigned, the shower drain is plugged and it will fill up quickly.
The shared food (salt, sugar, etc) has been there for a long time and should probably be thrown away.
From the sidewalk, you'll need to open 3 doors to get to the appartment. The smell of the main aisle outside the appartment is also strong.
The plugin in the bathroom sink will not fit the hairdryer. Different electrical standards, I guess.
Not meeting the host in person, might give you the feeling that this place is not safe. However, we didn't face any sort of problems or anything during our stay.
