I have been thinking a lot what review I should write, because Lorenzo and his girlfriend are such kind people. They gave suggestions and helped us wi to our planning in Firenze. Still, the reviews on Airbnb are so positive I feel misled. We were not expecting the best of experiences but this place was surprisingly bad.
It was very dirty. The bathroom was disgusting. When I took a shower I could see patches of dirt on the shower cabin. There was dust everywhere. On the tv shelf there was visible dust cover. The chairs had dust collected on the legs and that got really messy in the days to come. We stayed for a week and after day three it became unbearable and I had to clean the floor of the room and the bathroom. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy cleanliness but I have spent 5 years in a student hostel during my studies. I can live in relative dirtiness and we went months without the need to clean the floor. This room was worse. You can bear it and be ok, but why should you.
If you see in the photos, there is a canopy on the bed. Now for me this is a very bad sign. It means that they cannot handle the mosquitoes. I know to avoid such places but I was like let’s give it a try. The first night we have killed 13 mosquitoes. The next 7. The next days we just did not bother with them we killed only the ones inside the canopy. Just to be prepared.
The bed was not comfortable. Every move triggered a loud screeching sound.
Other than that we had a table which was nice and the WiFi was spot on. We used it to work a couple of days and it did the job just fine.
I am not sure if this is a cheap place, because we found cheaper ones and also it was close to the stay we had in Milan. There the room was amazing and here it is very bad in comparison with it.
