This apartment seemed great when we first arrived. Very safe neighborhood, not too far from downtown Florence (where all the action is), and the apartment itself appeared fairly new. However, over time we ran into multiple problems.
The description of the apartment starts off by saying there is abundant coffee and tea - this wasn’t true, there was none, so we had to buy some ourselves. There was no cooking oil so we had to buy that as well, and the freezer was unusable, as it was a solid, frozen block of ice.
A major problem is that the Airbnb listing claims that 4 guests can stay here. The apartment has one full-sized bed that a couple could stay in - BUT - the other places to sleep for guests are two bed frames with terrible mattresses. And BOTH bed frames were broken. One was bent in the middle and other was missing multiple wooden slats. My friend had to stack them on top of each other and sleep on the floor.
There was also a problem with the shower. The water drained incredibly slowly, so the shower became disgusting after we’d been there for only a day, and got progressively worse over time.
Basically this apartment has potential to be fine, but there are multiple problems that need to be fixed first. Also, the apartment is covered is signs warning guests to be clean, to take their trash with them when they leave (the apartment had one, single, small trash bag and nothing else, another problem), and one saying NO LATE CHECK-OUT, GUESTS MUST LEAVE BEFORE 10 (not “by 10,” which is the official check-out time, but “before 10.”)
Not impressed overall. Again, safe neighborhood, decent location and good air conditioning, but needs work. The description of the Airbnb should actually match what you’re getting, above all else.
