Federico’s apartment has a great location and he is wonderful with communication. However, the Airbnb itself was somewhat of a let down. Upon arrival it was quite dirty - the couch was in such bad shape that neither myself, my mom, or girlfriend even sat on it, there was hair on the floor going up stairs, and when we went to get extra blankets for sleeping - two of them had food AND yellow stains on them. Federico offered to send the cleaning crew back out but at this point it was easier for us to do ourselves. There is a nightclub next door that plays loud music from 11 Pm to 4 AM nightly - not just on the weekends. There was also construction that started promptly at 8 AM. We realize neither of these are Federico’s fault, but both should be disclosed to everyone booking. Location cannot be beat but I would likely consider elsewhere for our next trip to Florence.
PS: if you like to wind down at night with TV like us, bring an iPad or something similar. The tv available is smaller than a typical laptop and only gets a few Italian channels.
