The airbnb had SO many mosquitos. I arrived quite late the first night and was very tired but had to stay up to kill six before going to sleep. I felt/heard mosquitos in my sleep so i woke up to catch two more. Even then I got SO many countless mosquito bites. I literally could not count how many I got on my arms and especially my face. I had to go to a wedding the next day (i was the maid of honor) with dozens of mosquito bites on my face. I explained to the host and he said he’d leave a mosquito repellent but he did not. So I went and got a spray and a plug in myself. I went on to kill 4 more the next day and sprayed the whole flat with repellent. I realize it is mosquito season in Florence end of sept/beginning of oct but my other friends who were in Florence for wedding the same time had no mosquito issues in their airbnb and theirs were all equipped with repellents.
No shampoo/body wash/hand soap so bring your own. No coffee so i bought my own in a nearby store. Very little toilet paper so maybe come ready to buy a couple rolls yourself.
I do like santa croce area so I knew location would be good. Recommend the area. The bar outside the window get rowdy at night but honestly had no problem sleeping through the noise.
My husband could not come so I stayed by myself and it’s a good space for one. Two would have been slightly tight but manageable.
AC, hot water and toilet all worked well.
