There are quiet apts and streets in the center of Florence. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. We stayed at 3 airbnb's during our time in Florence and this apt is the noisiest by far... The apt itself is nice, clean and well designed... but it is located at the corner of 2 busy streets that have popular bars below that stay open until 2 am... Every night there was increasing noise from 11 pm until 2:30 am, when it was the noisiest. That is because all the bars close at 2 am and the drunk people are now shouting/ crying/ laughing/ fighting in the street right below you. And for some reason the loud drunk people dont leave the street area until 4 am.. So thats 2 hours of shrieking below your window every night... The owner of this apartment should invest in some professionally made double pane windows that could block out much of the noise from the street. They have this weird custom made full glass door next to the bed that makes for an entry to a bedroom balcony.. although beautiful woodwork, it has no noise protection at all.. Yeah, bottom line, if you stay here, you will be awake from midnight to 4 am... even on a Tuesday night..
