Pros: in a residential area away from the tourist centre. A supermarket nearby and a lovely cafe in a park a short walk away. An easy walk into Florence. The outlook onto the garden is nice. Cons: I found the apartment dark and cold. The heating struggles to heat the rooms and there wasn’t enough bedding (only a sheet, bedspread and small airplane type blanket). More than one towel would have been good as it never really dried as the apartment was quite damp and musty (which is probably why there was mould in the kettle). There was quite a lot of traffic noise during the day but I was expecting that so it didn’t bother me. Check in was difficult. After catching the train and then walking for 20 minutes to the apartment, the host said he would be late (having already pushed my check in time back once). He was then even later still and uncontactable - while I sat out the front on my suitcase on a busy street, being harassed by men driving past. Eventually he turned up but it was not a great introduction to a new city - particularly for a solo traveller. After kindly saying I could check out an hour late, he then changed it to be half an hour late instead. These changes to check in and check out times were stressful and disruptive, as I had booked train tickets around the original times.
