The comments reflect what I feel are important due to an anticipated long-term stay; they may be less important to people staying only for a few days. (1) Air Conditioning/Utilities. Unfortunately, the AC motor is very very loud and is located next to the bed in the bedroom, causing an obvious problem. I did not hear the AC motor anywhere else I stayed in Italy, only here. Also, for the 96 euro nightly rate, I think the owner could have included the cost of Utilities (water and electricity/air conditioning) in that rate, especially for a long-term stay. Had I stayed the entire 28 nights, and used the AC appropriately given the extreme heat (the place was like an oven over the night), my charge for AC would have been in the 1,000's of euros! My fault for accepting being responsible for Utilities; I will NEVER rent another Airbnb apartment with this condition. (2) Location. Some reviews talked about people traffic along the street, which is to be expected and fine. However, what they failed to mention are all of the restaurants along the street, even below and across from the apartment. Also, noisy-light-flashing city truck coming thru the street every morning at about 02:00. Again, for a long-term stay, the location of the apartment is much too noisy for me. Friends stayed one street south of me, and did not experience the same noise, so it has to do with the street and its occupants, not being in the center of Florence.
