Apartment is really well renovated & attractive, good shower, decent bed & good WiFi. In vaccum, would recommend this place. Neighborhood a little seedy although one of best resturants around 13 Gobbi is close. Downside is advertised as second floor - more like 3.5 or 4 floors. Work going on in building, extremely dusty. Workmen were rude & creepy. Lock on door into apartment very tricky & halls/staircases not well lit. Things like extra towels, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee/tea for 5 day stay would have been nice touch(things that travelers dont want 2 deal with). Didn't find host all that engaging, preoccupied with florence city tax & making sure we were out of apartment in time 4 next guest. Just came from fantastic place in venice with extremely helpful host & tremendously appointed place, so opinion may be somewhat jaded.
