This room was part of a 4-bedroom apartment with shared kitchen, bathroom and terrace. The place was very clean, recently renovated and tastefully decorated.
Maria was very kind to pick us up from the bus stop, and she had some groceries in the kitchen waiting for us, which was wonderful! The towels and bathrobes in the room are really comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. The neighbourhood feels safe, and is attractive and more affordable than the centre of Florence. You can walk to the centre of the city in 20 minutes, and there are nice shops along the way. There is a train station 5 minutes walk from the apartment.
We were Maria's first guests in this rental, and there were some "hiccups". Mainly, the wifi was not connected and therefore we were without Internet for the entire stay. We also had an issue with hot water for a couple of days, but my partner was able to fix it himself. Finally, this apartment is very hot in the Florence summer. There is no air conditioning here, and although I requested it from Maria, she did not provide us with a fan. We slept with all the windows open, but woke with many mosquito bites despite the provided citronella candles.
All in all, we enjoyed our time in beautiful Florence and this apartment has a lot of potential. I'm sure Maria will continue to improve this rental with more guests! We recommend this room. Grazie!
