This apartment sits on a bus stop, which is not shown in the photo posted. A bus literally comes by every 15-30 minutes. Because the air-conditioning WAS NOT FUNCTIONING during our stay, the heat and noise was unbearable. It wasn't until I requested a refund, did Na, not the owner, fix the problem. I've stayed at many airbnbs throughout the last few years and this apartment was hot and noisy with a manager who truly did not seem to care that we were paying 2,300 dollars for a heated oven on a bus stop. Stay away. There are truly other beautiful apartments in quiet neighborhoods with air conditioning. Functioning air-conditioning is a must in Florence in the summer. Having to spend my vacation trying to get the manager to fix it, was simply unacceptable in every way.
