1. The location is beautiful. The side the window is facing is currently under construction on the Duomo as of 10/25/22, when we visited, so just be mindful of that. Workers scale the building when your windows are open and can see in.
2 . Due to the area by the Duomo be prepared for loudness at all hours… it’s not terrible but won’t be ideal for a light sleeper . The building is old so you’ll definitely hear foot steps above you and such.
3. I’m a very avid Airbnb user and this was the least personable experience I have ever had. We were delayed in our travels and communicated and they said they would leave after a certain time if we didn’t arrive by then (but then they were there so that was nice but very stressful because we didn’t know if they would be there or not because we received no response after that via Airbnb message
4. Communication with host takes about 24 hours. Not immediate, at all.
5. The ac leaks water all onto the first floor
6. The bed is SO uncomfortable and the sofa bed doesn’t close
7. One roll of TP- ran out and had to buy more. No laundry detergent, no water left or any nice touches like all other Airbnb stays, no recommendations, anything. ONE wine glass (not 2) and NO coffee!! Nothing.
8. One trash can and trash bag but all these rules about fines if we didn’t separate the trash right so that also stressed us out/ then after a day of following up- they said don’t worry about it.
9. Does have an elevator- that’s a plus.
10. WIFI is AWFUL and non existent here. Made it so stressful!!!!
11. We had to stay in Florence an extra day due to travel issues and got another place close by and soooo much happier with this! We were able to check in early, had the hosts give us a map, showed us everything, recommend places and we wish we had stayed at this place the entire time. The comfort and personalization and everything beats the view of the first place.
