We had a challenging stay here. Our host family was helpful upon arrival and stocked Chianti wine and some pasta and sauce for us to start off. This was very kind of them. However, we soon realized that the place was very damp, poorly cleaned and sanitized, and very far from the tourist sites that we’ve wanted to see. There is transit readily available not far from the house, but it took a lot of time to actually get to where we wanted to go. The basement we stayed in was tastefully decorated but it was not comfortable and we found the 2 air conditioning machines didn’t have enough power to cool and dry the place. The bed felt damp and my husband was allergic to the stuffing in his pillows. We did get free access to the host’s laundry room. I think for the price, this stay was okay for Florence. However, had I known the experience would’ve been so, I would’ve gladly paid more to stay in a place that’s cleaner and not damp.
