Unfortunately I am unable to recommend this place. The location was perfect and we were able to check in with ease. However, this place was not an acceptable place for us. The reasons I can’t recommend this place are: When we entered from the street, there was a strong smell of mold, and the stairway was dirty, giving an impression of substandard. In general, this place was not a modern style apartment, but severely dated. Even setting that aside, several light bulbs did not work, specifically the kitchen had no working light and the bathroom was missing one major light, which left part of the bathroom in the dark. The bedding was horrible. Pillows were so flat and old that were beyond any useful life. Also, the bedding was not inviting, There was one top sheet and a small paper thin blanket on the bed. In a broom closet there were some down comforters, not folded, but shoved onto a shelf. Unable to determine whether they were clean and ready to use. We found another heavier blanket that appeared to be thrown into the broom closet as well, and appeared that it had not been cleaned for months. There was nothing about this apartment that felt clean, organized or inviting.
The check out time was 10:00 am, which was extremely inconvenient. A check out of at least 11:00 would have been more acceptable. Also, the cleaning person arrived at 9:30 am and I had to tell him to return after 10:00.
Too much furniture in the living room, gave this place a feeling of a college flat. If you’re looking for something better than a youth hostile, then this is your place. If you’re looking for an inviting relaxing and comfortable space to enjoy while in Florence, keep searching.
