If I could, I would give this accomodation zero stars.
I booked this room for 3 nights and at the very last minute once my travel plans were confirmed, and the communication with Saimir and Mary was good, so all perfect until then as I thought: "What a great start of my holiday in Florence!"
The big downside for me arrived when I actually got to the area and to the property: area felt unsafe (a drunken guy who stared at me until I got there turned out to live next door) and, as a solo traveller, I really haven't felt comfortable from the start.
The entrance and common area are lovely, but there is this instant smell of old and unwashed furniture and sofa fabrics mixed with smoke (I am a non smoker and should have paid attention to the fact that it is allowed to smoke somewhere in the building).
I found the budget room to be way smaller that the one advertised, the toilet wasn't working (couldn't flash it), there was no bidet and the seat was literally next to the shower entrance, meaning you had to pee next to the shower entrance.
The cleaning lady I met was polite and am sure she did her job, but the place looked so disappointing and smelly that I wasn't comfortable with the idea of
sleeping there. I in fact had to spend the whole next 3 hours of my holiday trying to find an alternative, which isn't ideal at all when on holiday and wanting to relax!
Thankfully Airbnb refunded my other two nights (so I still wasted the money of the first night) and, for 20 euros extra a night, I stayed at a hotel near the Dome bang on centre town, with a fantastic double room, private bath, beautiful interiors, free coffee and tea and amazing breakfast included.
I am a Tourism professional for a living, and this sadly was a very disappointing experience to have in my own country Italy.
So in conclusion: lovely hosts, but the accomodation certainly isn't worth the price. Will not return.
Thanks!
