Pros: Relatively cheap, good location in an authentic (if slightly seedy) part of Florence with good bars and restaurants nearby. Good internet connection. Modi was nice and had helpful restaurant recommendations.

Cons: The shower is literally right next to (practically on top of) the toilet and sink. So the floor of the shower is just the bathroom floor, but with an inadequate drain in the middle. So it can get a little gross. VERY basic kitchen and utensils. No fan or AC, which has the room get quite hot even at night, and with the noisy street outside makes leaving the windows open an undesirable response to the heat.
