First, I want to praise the incredible friendliness of the host, Isa. She welcomed us, brought more blankets when we asked, offered to call us a cab.
The location of this apartment just on the other side of the Arno is terrific. This part of town is really enjoyable and real compared to the glitzy, Gucci touristy side. However the street noise is terrible. We were not able to sleep due to loud scooters, cars, yelling, street sweeping, and MORE! All night long. Particularly between 12-4 am. The bedrooms are huge and kind of stark. The beds are hard like most Italian beds and the pillows are terrible. The bathroom is nicely appointed but dark, the kitchen/living room sparsely but adequately equipped. No corkscrew. 🤔
We decided to move after the first night, and Isa kindly offered us 2 nights’ refund. We both ended up traveling elsewhere for 2 nights, keeping the apt. And staying the last night.
I don’t like to leave a bad review but wish other guests had been more clear about the noise.
