I feel bad writing this review because the hosts are very kind and welcoming, but our stay was pretty gross, and I feel the need to warn others. The bathroom lacked warm water. The shower head was very thick with mildew as were the shower walls and floor. The floor made our bare feet black within minutes and there were mashed mosquitos all over the walls. I’m all for a communal living space and bathroom, but I felt dirtier after showering than I did after walking the hot streets of Florence all day. Furthermore, there was not an adequate lock on the bedroom door which made me nervous to leave my belongings there during the day. If the place was cleaned just once a month then I would consider staying again because the location is fantastic.
