Pros:
- absolutely amazing view of the Arno river and Florence
- away from the hustle and bustle but an easy 20min walk to the center
- very comfortable bed
- sound-proof windows in bedroom
- washer in the bathroom
- let me check-in early
- host responded quickly to questions
Cons:
- no screens and tons of mosquitos (the plug-in liquid the host gave me helped after I mentioned it)
- windows in bathroom and main room rattled during windy days and thunderstorms
- extra trash bags and a new sponge would have been appreciated
- coordinating the check-in time was a little confusing with multiple hosts in charge of the listing
- key to main door a little tricky (don’t put it in all the way in order to turn it)
- WiFi not fast enough for smooth zoom meetings
Overall I enjoyed my stay, and would stay again. I think improving the WiFi speed would be a great asset for remote workers like myself. The view was amazing and the apt very comfortable. However, I wish Italian apts had screens for the mosquitos. Unfortunately that’s not very common anywhere in Italy.
