If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. We could hear everything on the streets below, evening someone whistling early in the morning. Also, and this may be seasonal, but around 5pm, dozens of birds nestled into the ivy on the building and chirped all night long into the morning. Location was great, the other side of the Arno is definitely less touristy and so lovely. Host communication was not great and she was not very accommodating regarding an early check in. We arrived in Florence at 10am and I knew from looking at the availability dates that no one stayed there before us, but the host was not helpful in letting us drop our bags before 3pm check in. I messaged her when we arrived and she never responded so we followed through with the check in process and the apartment was perfectly fine for us to drop our bags early as it was clean and ready to go because no one had stayed there before us. Overall good location but that was the best part.
