Good location for the apartment. Very near the railway station. Decently clean for an old building. We didn't meet Luca but his colleague met and welcomed us on arrival.
Do pack a light bag if you intend to stay there as we found out that in Italy 2nd Floor really is 3rd Floor from where we are from. Italy count the ground floor as "0" zero. Good thing we had our big suitcases kept at the bag storage back in Venice before we came out with our overnight bags to Florence. Otherwise, it would be a nightmare if we had to haul our 20kg suitcases up the stairs.
The loft staircase in the unit is a bit tricky to negotiate, provided you are agile and not overweight to duck between the staircase and the support beam. No matter how careful I was, I still knocked my head a couple of times. Lol! Put it to "Clumsy me".
Although apartment was equipped with fridge, a small kitchen and stove but all the pots are just too dirty to be used. No kettle to even boil some water. Although they promised to bring us one the next day, it never came. But we managed for the 2 nights stay with mineral water. Just not able to make any hot coffee. But cuppucino is easily available from any of the restaurants nearby and are just delicious to keep us caffeine up.
Shower water pressure is good and showering is certainly another experience too cos the hot water turns icy cold every now and then. Just have to keep adjusting the tap when showering.
Internet wifi provided is very good. Great speed. Very good air conditioning too.
This apartment has room for improvements.
