This apartment is very well located for main attractions like the Duomo, Vecchio, and Accademia. There are a few caveats: mosquitoes, noise, and bathroom. All of these issues are fixable. Management was very responsive to Airbnb messages.
Mosquitoes - We stayed at the apartment in October, and it’s about the end of mosquito season. However, my wife got bit 5 times in our first night. We killed about three in our first night and two in the second. Management did accommodate by giving us a VAPE mosquito repellent, however it can irritate breathing for some people.
Noise - it would become very noisy at about 8AM and 5PM (people going to work, other tenants, and construction), so we would try to be out the door at the time. We’re on vacation though, and tried to sleep in a bit. The main issue is that the hall amplifies sound.
Bathroom - bathroom is well decorated, but very cramped like a lot of European bathrooms. The opening were you get in has a very low profile, so it’s easy to water to escape onto the floor. They provide a floor towel, but it’s very hard to dry with the amount of water that comes out and difficulty airing out the bathroom. The bathroom does not have a vent with a fan, and you need to air our the bathroom with an open window without a screen. So our main trade off was letting mosquitoes in or airing out a very humid bathroom.
This apartment is better for a single person than two people. Like I mentioned before, it has one of the best locations and the staff is responsive. I hope they can fix some of the pest and bathroom issues.
