We arrived florence at the worst of weathers - pouring rain - and although our stay was only a 10min walk it felt like a hike to get to. Tommaso gave a thorough introduction to us on things to do/see and places to eat at. We had some issues at check-in because we couldn't understand why we had to surrender copies of our passport. Even though this is written in the house rules, we are still confused why this info is needed by the Florence district municipal. Airbnb staff kindly translated the law to me and it shouldn't be more than a passport check (rather than a copy sent to the municipal). At check-in, remember to print a copy of your passport and be aware of the tourist tax.. We weren't prepared and was taken by surprise. So do read the house rules!
Tommaso's place is very clean, the shower has good pressure and was fully equip (shower wash but no shampoo), cable TV came in handy when we were rained in, and the best patisseries/mini-mart were only a stones through away. If you want a perfect location to see Florence, this is the place! I'm a light sleeper so i was woken up every morning at 5/6am due to the traffic/rubbish collectors on the streets. Another problem we ran into, but tommasso prepared us for, was that the fuse will trip (esp. When you are cooking with both stoves on..) But the fix was very simple. These were the only minor problems we had. I would reccommend this place is you want a homey get-away!
