The apartment is located in a very central place, thus allowing for easy explorations of Florence by foot. Parking opportunities are a somewhat short walk (between 5 and 10 minutes through a busy neighborhood) from the apartment - not included in the price and it can be hard to find a free spot in one of the garages around the place.
The place itself - in our opinion - looked a lot more worn than the pictures made believe. Amenities are either missing or barely working (the fridge with the broken freezer door was our amusing highlight), there is the smell of gas sometimes permeating from the bathroom and the place feels empty and cramped at the same time. The place feels dark - even on sunny days, and is missing better lighting options. However, the fresco and the design of the ceiling are beautiful and we found the place to be reasonably clean, which was a plus.
The host’s communication was always friendly, polite and fast - so this was very much appreciated. Even the booking on a short term notice could be accommodated.
