We have very mixed feelings about our stay at Lauraholidayhouse. The apartment is much as advertised. It is in a good location for accessing the important historical sights in Florence. And, unlike many Airbnb apartments, it’s kitchen is good for cooking your own meals. Lorenzo lives right next door and was always easy to communicate with. He meet us personally for check in and arranged a taxi to the airport for us when we checked out.
Unfortunately, the apartment had a very strong odor of sewage during our stay. The odor was strong enough that it lingered in our clothing after we left for our next destination. Lorenzo is aware of this and has been trying to get the proper agencies to fix the issue, as he believes the source of the problem to stem from outside of the apartment. Several times during our stay, even though it was December, we had to open all of the windows to air the rooms out. Unfortunately, as soon as they were closed the odor built back up. I would recommend contacting the host prior to booking this apartment to verify that the problem has been corrected.
