Looking at the big picture, the place was ok. I believe that our expectations were bigger because of the other rewies that we read before choosing the place. Our reality was the following:
PROS:
*The place was extremely close to the center of Florence and you literally can reach everything by foot and this is very convinient because parking is Florence is a chaos.
*The host was responsive and nice and helped us when we complained about the notice from the appartment above us.
*The appartment was clean and very nice decorated.
CONS:
*What was much different than our expectation was the noise. This appartment it is not a quite one at all. Even if, yes, there are not a lot of tourists passing through that area, there is a lot of noise starting early in the morning (5:00AM, then 7:00 AM and so on) from the cars that are passing by the appartment. Every morning we heard loudly 2 cars that collected the garbage ( one for glass and another one for the other trash bins. The funny part is that they came at different times in the morning so you could be waken up twice. We also heard a car that cleaned the streets, a VERY loud car that woke us up also. The apartment is at grand floor and you can hear very loud every car/person that passes by. We tried to close the bedroom door, but it didn't help and it is also broken..very difficult to close it.
*The floors of the apartment above are old and if you have the luck to have some neighbors above, you can almost hear what they are talking. You can also hear when they are walking and every other noise they are making.
*You cannot let food in the kitchen counter because of the ants.
*The bathroom and the shower are very small. If you are bigger that medium hight you will find difficult to shower.
*As you can see in the other rewies also, the little appartment is on a high heel and it is even difficult to climb it in the day with the sun up.
To sum up, the place was ok, the fact that is close to everything is a big bonus, but if you are looking for a quiet place, this is not the one.
