The location is unbeatable as its a stone’s throw from the big landmarks of Florence.
We loved the minimal lamp shades, spare details, beautifully subdued colours, the artworks and other chic touches of the hosts that was found everywhere in the decor of the apartment in a repurposed old palace, all the time retaining its charming and quaint oldness.
Since it’s in the middle of a busy backstreet we had accepted that it would be noisy, something we did not mind as the sound of a place is also part of its character. We loved the bells and the voices, sometimes raised, of people passing by, it did not disturb our sleep.
The shower area is a wonder of space optimization for me but may be uncomfortable for someone of a bigger size than me. But I just loved it!
Had issues with a few tiny things, which I’m sure the hosts would have resolved in a jiffy if they were around. Like:
No gas lighter was provided despite messaging. There was a small butane cigarette lighter which is quite dangerous to use while lighting a gas oven.
No blankets were provided. While it was sizzling hot in the day, it got chilly in the night. So we improvised with the bedsheets :)
The kitchen ware needs some updating.
