Decent apartment and very good location (2 min from Accademia and 5 minutes from Duomo. A 99 cents store is practically across the street (great place to buy toilet paper; for some reason, we found based on our 5 city tour that Italian BnBs only leave 2 rolls whether you stay 2 or 5 nights). Just a bit further is a Carrefour grocery store. An ex-pat said it was the best and cheapest store in the area. A great and cheap Chinese restaurant is very close (5-7 Euro meals plus 1 for rice; one meal lasted two nights for me). There are plenty of lights. The living room and bedroom have options to be dim or bright (different lights). There is plenty of storage (good closet with rack, shelves, and drawers; shelves in several rooms; living room and bedroom have large wooden trunks to put stuff on). Both AC units work well (bedroom and small area next to living room, which cools living room too). Clothes washer worked well and drying rack and clothes pins are available. We used both the bed in the bedroom and the sofa bed (well, because of noise, we both started out in the bedroom and then one of us moved to the living room when woken by the other person's snoring). The bedroom bed was a bit more comfortable, but the sofa bed was comfortable too. Our only complaint, and the reason we wouldn't stay here again, is the noise. Even with earplugs and fan apps on our phones, we couldn't drown out all the noise (although they helped). Starting at around 8 pm, we could hear street noise from two restaurants right by the door to the building, especially while in the living room. This unit is one floor up from the door to the street, and all the noise comes right through the doors. Sitting in the living room felt like being in a crowded restaurant. Worse were the neighbors, and that noise occurred from about 6 am until about 11 pm and could be heard throughout the unit, depending on who was making noise. It was intermittent but included some yelling matches the first afternoon and a child that threw a fit 3 of the 4 nights we were there; he also ran around a lot (until as late as 11 pm). The hosts contacted the neighbors, but it didn't really help. They said that they hadn't had this issue before; maybe we just had unfortunate timing. Some people aren't sensitive to noise, but we are. Other than that, it really is a great place and the hosts are easy to work with. One of our favorite things was that of the 5 places we used in Italy, this was the only place that had a binder of helpful information (e.g., local restaurants, grocery store, manuals for appliances, what to do when leaving the unit).
