The flat is beautiful and has an old Italian feel. It is down a cobbled road with little shops all around. The road itself is very quaint and quiete. The neighbourhood feels very safe.
Pros:
Location: The property is next to Ponte Vecchio making the location perfect. We were able to walk to all the sites in less than 15 minutes and even walk to the train station. We took a taxi to near by vineyard (25 mins) for some wine tasting.
The property is very large for two people. We had 2 bedrooms, a large kitchen, bathroom, toilet and a living room.
The kitchen is very well stocked with spices and ingredients for cooking. We however did not do much cooking as you are spoilt for choice with restraunts.
I also found there was plenty of toilet roll and soap provided. The bedding and towels were off a high quality.
We met our greeter at 2 30 for a 3 o’clock check in. They were very accommodating. The greeter was lovely and answered all our question.
The flat is on the ground floor and near the building entrance. This makes carrying suitcases very easy.
I felt safe in the property as there was clearly attention paid to the security system.
Cons:
The bedroom on the middle floor is close to the front door and the flat is near the building entrance, due to this from 6 30 am you can hear the banging off the front door as people go to work. This is not an issue with the bedroom on the top floor.
The bathroom does not have a door which can be awkward when you need some privacy. It also really needs a deep clean. There is bits of dirt and mould around the bathtub. The shower is a flow water rather than a shower , I guess this is due to a build up of limescale on the shower head.
There was some confusion around check in. I did try messaging them on the Airbnb message but that was all sorted.
Overall as Florence is an expensive city this is probably the best we could get in our budget. The flat is very cool and with a better bathroom would be perfect for a few days in Florence. They also offer the service for a middle of stay clean which is such a good idea.
