Awkward Space - Beware! The photos of this apartment do not paint an accurate picture. First, there are 4, then 10, then 15 more stairs to the elevator. Then, you literally head up to the attic by 15 tiny, steep, winding steps with no handrail. It’s dangerous and good luck getting larger bags up there. You enter the living room, which is tiny if the pull out bed is open, so no place for more than one person to sit and talk or watch TV. You have to walk through a dark, low ceiling, claustrophobic kitchen to get to the bedroom. The bedroom, down 4-5 stairs, is large, modern and beautifully renovated. The bathroom is also modern but so tiny that there is no place to set down any items, and you might just drop your toothbrush in the toilet!
There is a concrete barrier about 4 inches tall between the living room and kitchen that you have to step over constantly. Quite a safety hazard. Also, if you come in the hot summer, despite there being two air conditioners, they barely blow any air at all and it was impossible to sleep. The owners responded that this was normal for Florence, but it’s not, and it should not be listed as having air-conditioning, especially since it’s in the attic of the building.
Overall, this apartment is only appropriate for one or two very tolerant people. It is not pleasant for a vacation. We asked to cancel and move right away but the owner was very argumentative and said some very rude things over WhatsApp. A friend had the EXACT same experience with another apartment and was treated very nicely and given a full refund.
