I booked the whole month of September in January with Monica. She gave me a great rate, so leading up to September we had communication here and there. She knew I was bringing another person, and a few friends were to visit here and there. She said it was fine and looked forward to meeting me. Upon arrival Monica and her husband greeted myself and a friend, who was staying 10 days. They graciously had two bottles of wine, coffee, and some sweets to welcome us. Very nice touch. The place is very clean, and everything is new. Monica and her husband live above the apartment, so when you go into the garden they usually are there too, or above on their balcony, with their sweet kitty Marty. This is nice cause it give a sense of security, although florence is very safe. When the 10th day arrived and my friend was getting ready to leave, Monica called me into the garden, as I had only the screen open from my bedroom. She explained to me that there are many expenses to the house and I'd anyone else comes they will have to pay $97.33 / night. I was floored! She mentioned how she gave me a great rate of around $700 in January, although I paid $1000 for the month. This is when I began to panic cause I had 2 other friends coming in soon. This left a sour taste in my mouth, as she knew I had other people coming and going via our conversations through air b&b. Not to mention, I did not stay in the turtle house the whole time I was there. I stayed in the dolomites for 4 nights, paris for 2 nights, and Capri for another 3 nights! So the house was vacant for a total of 9 days! I understand added expenses for a home, as I rent in Philadelphia, however to charge $97.33 per person per night add on is outrageous, especially when she knew I would have visitors. I quickly had to scramble to find another air b&b close by to rent for less. My two friends who were coming in were both staying 10 days each and the total she would've charged us would've been in excess of what she rents the place for at market value. That would've been an added $2k ontop of the $1k I had already paid! I felt as if she was trying to squeeze money outta us, or as one says nickel and dimes. Alas, I found another apartment for way less right around the corner in San niccolo, 3 bedroom, for my friends and I. When you arrive in florence, there is a tax to pay and your passport must be recorded with the police. I paid the tax with Monica, however she kept saying she was afraid of the political , and any people in the turtle house if they weren't registered with the police. One of my friends is...
