The location is perfect, easy 15-minute walk to all the Florence highlights downtown, much closer walk to great restaurants and gelato off the tourist strips, which our host highlighted for us. The shower was the most generous in size and comfort than any of our Italy Airbnb places. No A/C, but we stayed in the summer and were comfortable enough with a big quiet portable fan we found stored in a closet in one of the bedrooms. The mattresses we slept on were not the most comfortable (a bit thin and wirey), but given the location and the grand/regal feeling of this large downtown first-floor apartment, we'd book a stay there again without reservation. The host was kind and responsive.
