Cristina’s place itself is very cute and functional for a short stay. The washing machine was a huge help for us and the AC in the bedroom was amazing. Cristina was a great host and let us check in early.
The location of this apartment was not ideal. The building is steps away from the Arno river. Even with all of the doors and windows closed, my husband and I woke up to 10+ mosquito bites each morning. I know these bites were different than those accumulated during the day because we counted before we went to bed. There are no screens on the windows (as is the case in most of Italy). There was also a significant amount of trash on the sidewalks and alleyways outside the apartment.
Overall, the apartment itself is nice but the location made it more unpleasant than expected.
