Beautiful view of the Santa Maria Novella church and piazza! Unlike some accomodations where you wonder what the cleaning fee has gone towards, this place definitely felt like it was well cleaned. The only downsides were:
1) a bit of an odour in the stairwell of the building
2) being next to a piazza and restaurants, a bit noisy if you want to go to bed early
3) we heard some water running in the pipes (we think it’s when the neighbour uses the water)
4) although a very nice gesture, meeting the host in person was a bit more difficult cause we felt we had to be there at an exact time instead of a broad time. Because we arrived in Florence before the 2:00 check-in time, we were doing some site seeing and felt pressure to get to the accomodation at the time we said. Chiara was accomodating and allowed us to delay the check-in time. Also, Chiara’s dad was giving us a history lesson of Florence. Again, a nice gesture but also took up ~30 minutes.
Overall, very happy with the stay :)
