Let me start by saying that Lorenzo was an excellent and extremely accommodating host. He goes above and beyond for his guests, from local recommendations to even leaving a bottle of wine for us in the fridge. He even helped carry my girlfriends suitcase up all of the stairs. The apartment was very clean, and the balcony had beautiful views.
Unfortunately, however, I dont believe the space is great for value. We stayed at two separate airbnbs in Florence, this one being the "upgrade". Although the view is very nice, in my opinion it does not merit the price. There is a hill to climb before arriving, and its location is somewhat set back from the action, although very close to the ponte vecchio.
The main reason that we felt this space didnt earn five stars was because of the internet connection. We were here 3 nights, and tried to reset it, everything. The internet worked, but it was just incredibly slow. I am talking like 6 minutes to load a google search page slow, not like we were trying to stream netflix and it wasnt working. This created huge problems and wastes of time, as we had no cell service and relied on wifi to look up restaurants, etc. We spent close to an hour of extra time trying to load trip advisor review pages so we could decide where to go, which cut out of our vacation time and enjoyment of seeing the city.
In the end, it was a very nice place with an excellent view and host, but for the price, I believe there are better options.
