Florence is a beautiful city. Giorgio and his dad were very welcoming when we arrived, showing us our room (we had one with a private bath which was great!) and making sure we had all our questions answered. The space is much nicer than a hostel, giving you your own space, communal use of the kitchen and patio, but not my expectations of a typical air bnb. The location is great and easily accessible to the Duomo and other sights. When other guests are arriving or talking in the hallway we could hear it in our room. We're grateful for their hosting us. Having said all this, both my friend and I would stay there again.
