This is a pleasant, bright and spacious apartment centrally located in Florence. The host is responsive and provided many recommendations for dining. The apartment was clean, and host was kind to let us arrive a little before check-in time and stay a little after check-out time.
There are a few things that are not clear or different from the listing. I would not describe this as a “luxury” stay (not particularly nice bedding and towels, toiletries are basic, building hallway interior is a little run down). All fine, but for sure not “luxury”. The windows do a good job of blocking out the noise, but not all of it. In addition to a good bit of late night noise, the apartment is across from a market and morning set up begins at 6AM/7AM and the noise was difficult to sleep through. Finally, listing says there is a lift. This is true, but you have to walk up about 25 steps to get to the lift. We had a lot of luggage, so this was not convenient for our arrival and departure.
