After reading all the great reviews we booked this apartment for a 2 night stay in early July, the apartment is at the back of the house, not sure if other people have stayed in a different part of the house. Sorry to say but our stay was a nightmare.
We had great difficulty finding the place but we were met by the host who was very nice. After being on the road staying in various Airbnb for the past two weeks all through Spain, France, Sardinia and then Italy this was a huge disappointment.
The host seemed pleased that she had provided a bottle of water for us! After receiving fruit, drinks, snacks etc at the other apartments, it was a bit of a come down. It was almost impossible to get anything into the iced up freezer compartment of the fridge. There is no washing machine.
The apartment has no air conditioning but we were provided with one fan for a 4/5 room apartment, the bedroom and very small lounge both have large windows backing onto an overgrown garden and the host said that we could open the windows and that she had provided us with an anti mosquito plug in (just the one).
Unfortunately there was a very bad smell of damp permeating throughout the whole property with mould patches in the hall and lounge.
The bathroom sink and toilet are both badly cracked and the towel rail is rusty. The bath/shower is almost a death trap, it really is a square seating bath with two levels and very easy to slip and fall.
The futon is so uncomfortable we just sat at the dining table or on the bed.
On the plus side there is secure parking and it is close to the centre of Florence.
