This apartment is 1.5km from the train station and within about 15-35 minutes walk from all the major attractions. There was some confusion at checkin...the host was 30 minutes late and said he thought we would call from the station when we arrived. I wasn't aware of this and even after using up our international minutes to call and text him after waiting at the apartment, there was no reply until he showed up at the door. Nevertheless Modestino is an outgoing and friendly guy with helpful recommendations on what to do in Florence. Internet works fine and the lower bunk was clean, but the unit could use a scrubbing (there is black mould on the bathroom walls and shower curtain due to the way the shower is positioned, as well as in the back corners of the kitchen sink). Also do not press the button near the fan, as that is not for the fan, but will turn off all your hot water. You need to keep your showers short or else it will run cold. Finally, make sure you bring bug spray; there are mosquitoes and fruit flies in the evening (after the first night we no longer left the windows open for air...not sure what you would do in the summertime). Overall if you are on a tight budget traveling alone or with one other person, this little place will do. The kitchen is functional and well stocked although disorganized. If you are fussy about cleanliness and noise at night, this probably will not be the most comfortable place for you.
