Location was the seller here! Also, the authentic apartment style of florence, and the washer machine. There is no AC so sleeping was difficult and the bed is the worst to sleep on, especially as a backpacker with sore muscles. The place was very dark and there was no TV. If you are used to staying at nice/fancy places, this is not for you. Also, checkin was stressful because she insisted on meeting in person. So I had to alter my plans to accommodate her schedule to meet me there. For someone who has never been to italy, Elly would be very helpful. But as someone who used to live there, I didn’t need the full checkin meeting. She also took a photo of my passport which i’ve never had done before. Overall, great place for someone on a budget and who doesn’t mind sleeping poorly. It was a cool place, but i’d spend my money elsewhere next time for comfort and flexibility!
