The place was about a 40-minute walk to the Florence Cathedral and the other sites of touristic interest. Thus, much farther away than advertised. Public transportation was defficient. The host lady has a cat that hit the door to the room everty time we closed it. My wife attempted to use a hair dryer and the host lady demanded that she turn it off. She also started cleaning the bathroom before I was done using it. The apartment itself was adequate. She collected a local tax that was not included in the prepaid price, as required by airbnb. Check out is at 10, which she will remind you several times. Florence was great but our experience in this apartment was disastrous. I would not recommend it to anyone.
