This Airbnb it is located in a superb location near a lot of food options and is just a quick walk into the main attractions across the bridge. This location is also surrounded by beautiful gardens to visit and is super well located for our stay in Florence. It is on the 2nd floor with no elevator so be prepared to muscle up your luggage! 💪🏻 ◡̈ we had parking included too which was very good!
There are a few things i wished I knew before we booked. These are not deal breakers but would have been factors i would have liked to be able to consider before booking this apartment.
- The apartment isn’t as bright and clean as it looks. The photos are heavily photoshopped. With the small alley and opposite buildings you don’t actually get much sun. This (might) be different depending on seasons. But in April / May at least it’s quite dim.
- Take note that the heating is set to only activate when the temperature falls below 21 degrees celcius. Coming from a country with warm weather all year round , nights were a tad difficult to deal with. We were told to not change the thermostat and I caught a cold :(
- The showers stall is 3ft x 3ft it’s tight in there. standing space only. Water heating was abit iffy it runs hot and cold but I think it’s like that in most older buildings.
- The art in the room is very pretty , but that also means it collects a good amount of dust over time. Careful when opening the windows for air.
- The bed has seen better days, it’s slightly sunken in the middle and did no favours for my back.
