Expect to pay more on arrival. On my arrival I was hit with an additional charge of services and city tax. The city tax I don’t mind as this is not unusual in European cities but the services charge, which amounted to about another €10 per night, was not highlighted to me beforehand and was an unfair charge in my opinion. The price change, if highlighted beforehand would still probably be acceptable, but the feeling that you were being subjected to an unfair charge is what was annoying.
Also, the internet was very poor.
On other matters, the host, the location and the apartment were all good.
Take heed of the warnings from other reviewers regarding the three floor walk-up, this didn’t bother me but if you have large suitcases, children or elderly with you, it may be a concern.
Florence is a must see for everyone and an absolutely amazing city, loved every minute of exploring. Make sure to buy your vouchers/tickets to museums, galleries and other attractions at least a week beforehand. The queues can be very long and pre-booking can save you loads of time, especially in high season.
