Excellent location for the price. And you really can see a bit of Ponte Vecchio from the window, although it’s not a situation where you’d be relaxing and gazing at it. The main problem we experienced was the air conditioner not working, and the host’s failure to remedy that. During our stay, daily high temperatures of 35C occurred in Florence. Mostly the aircon just blew warm air, because the compressor was not kicking on. Shortly before we checked out, it did come on weakly, and then dripped water onto the wood floor. The response from our host amounted to denial and excuses, and she never acknowledged that repair was needed. We were able to sleep ok by using an electric fan we found in the closet. The host also scolded us for arriving 15 minutes later than expected (due to taxi queue at the rail station). The electricity is really not adequate, and often shut off when we used kitchen appliances, or for no reason. Electric outlets are few, of several different types, and in inconvenient places. Still, we could accept all that as part of the charm of an older unit, especially for the price. Overall, the experience would have been fine if the host had promptly sent a technician to fix the aircon.
