Great location and romantic room within old building, and some antique furniture, artwork and old ceiling paintings.
Pros:
-great location 5-7 minutes walk to Florence main train station
-there is a market next door which has a fantastic food court upstairs which rivals some of Italy's best restaurants
-room appears to be newly renovated and very clean with modern facilities, but also has a lot of antique/romantic furniture, etc
-great view of the nearby church dome (however not the main duomo/church in the city)
-host very friendly and allowed us to leave luggage after check out until our train arrived
-host lives right next door and quickly responds to questions
Cons:
-because the room is right next to the market and some night life locations, it can be quite loud at night and in the morning. I note that the main bedroom does have an additional thick glass window but this is still insufficient if you're sensitive to noise when sleeping. I acknowledge that the owner has probably done all she can to ensure the noise is reduced.
-there is no lift as the building is old
-location of apartment was a bit hard to find at first because google map pointed to incorrect location, also the door is hidden behind some market stalls selling leather, etc
