This was a very cute apartment and having a washer was handy. However, ***BE AWARE*** that the air conditioning is controlled by the building manager and may be turned off. We were not informed of this until after it was too late to cancel the reservation. I would not have booked the apartment if I had know there would be no air conditioning during our stay as this is a must for my husband and I to sleep. We were told to open the window but that doesn't help when it is also warm outside. Unfortunately this ruined our experience in what was otherwise a very nice apartment. Another thing to note is that it is outside of the city and taxis are expensive in Florence. Generally it was €20 (one way) to get where we were going.
