From day one, our host was incredibly responsive. The moment we arrived in Florence, a smooth check-in was all but guaranteed. We used the key code to enter the building. After climbing a few flights, we were greeted by our host’s friend. She was lovely, and showed us around the apartment. We settled in for the days that followed. The location was fantastic, as it was close to the SMN station and a convenient walk to all our destinations on that side of the river. It was always pleasant to return “home” after a long day of exploring. I can’t leave out how adorable the space is. The motivational notes and cute drawings really add to its charm.
Pro tip: the washer/dryer combo is super easy to use. But, note the instructions. The rapid clean was close to perfect for us. It just requires running the dryer again. One click counter-clockwise is sufficient. Make certain to check it every 20 minutes or so, or your clothes will be over-cooked. Simply turn off the machine, wait five minutes, then dry longer, if necessary. Also, the water pressure and consistent temperature is a bit lacking. Just be patient. It’s completely tolerable, if you expect it.
