The one bedroom aptamers on 41 Maggio st. is ideally located 5-10 minutes from most attractions in Florence but not in the very noisy (and more expensive) downtown. It is, probably a typical, old apartment characteristic to Florence; has a pleasant feels of old charm though the picture presented on the AirBNB website is rather misleading (If I will plan to rent an apartment I want this photographer). Apartment has everything one needs though don’t expect luxury. Important for me, it has internet and its fast…The host, Ms. Bianco, is a lovely lady that clearly want to do everything to make your stay pleasant. Apartment is on the second floor (no elevator of course), so if you have considerable luggage and you are not in best shape (unlike I ☺) you should take this into consideration. And you need four keys to get from the outside into your apparent (yes, four keys). One key in particular was tricky to operate. All-in-all a real nuisance especially if you come home late at night having had one drink too many (which for me is one drink…). Also you stand a real risk of getting stuck between two doors when you depart and leave the keys in the room (that’s not a joke). But then the most serious issue I have encountered – it was cold and there was no heating. It was late in October, temperatures were in the upper 40s during nite and upper 60s during day (about 10 degrees higher in the apparent). Heating, my host told me, is turned on only from November 5. So I was rather uncomfortable in the mornings and evenings, all-in-all a killjoy (now admittedly I am a spoiled American from Florida, so I speak only for myself). What irks me is that a simple solution – an electric heater- would have solved the (my) problem.
