We, a family of two adults with two kids under 12 yo and an infant, stayed at the apartment for 5 weeks. The apartment are nicely located and have a well-equipped cuisine + AC in the living room and two fans in each bedroom. The later are of good help as it gets very hot in July-August. The view from the living room is great. The elevator is slow and is supposed to be used in rare cases, it stops between floors. There are many nice places near buy : Dalla Lolla and a small shop with great mozzarella.
Few remarks:
- the flat rate for charges 150 euros -- I would prefer to pay as I use since I am careful with consuming resources and run AC when it is really needed. (First nights we slept with opened windows but got bitten by tiger mosquitos)
- there is no window in the second bedroom
- one fan stopped working. The host was not eager to replace it but finally did.
- the bath tube got partially blocked after 2.5 weeks of usage. The host misread my message, so I bought the special liquid from the store to clean it
- Airbnb's FAIL: I paid the city tax for my children under 12 yo, which I should have not, and send ~10 emails to get them back. The Airbnb Italy was very very bad in handling this saying that I cannot get any money back as I am not a resident of Italy while the city of Florence was saying the opposite. The ambassador of Airbnb Italy was silly: copy-pasted the same reply few times when I asked for clarification and forwarded messages from the city of Florence. Perhaps, this horrible situation could have been avoided when the host ticked some options while booking
Overall: our stay was pleasant and comfortable in the quiet area close to Piazza Santo Spirito. The optimal stay with family and few kids is four weeks
