The pros: Location is perfect. Close enough to the most famous sights in Florence (15 minute walk) but far enough so you’re out of the tourist crowds and in with the locals. The apartment is laid out nicely, has a wonderful terrace and is well equipped. The host (which is actually a property management company called Flospirit) kindly let us check in very early which we really appreciated. The cons we encountered were mold on the exterior of the shower, a dirty oven that smoked even at low temps, and the overall condition of the apt in need of a deep cleaning. It took a few days for these issues to be sorted out and Airbnb credited us the cleaning fee and 50% of our first two days stay which we thought was fair under the circumstances.
