We chose Marie's Airbnb-apartment instead of finding a hotel, in order to find a place with kitchen facilities, which is among the things that is listed with this apartment.
We wanted to experiment with the Italian kitchen, instead of going to a restaurant every night.
We were sadly quite disappointed with the kitchen- as well as the dining facilities that met us. When we arrived, there were only one, pretty dull, kitchen knife, for meat, veggies and bread. There were only a few plastic spoons (not ideal for a cup of coffee) and only one wine glass.
When we requested these things, Marie sent over a friend with a bread knife, six spoons and six glasses - not wine glasses, but that was probably just a misunderstanding. That made things a bit easier.
Furthermore, both the refrigerator and the freezer were too warm. The coldest setting on the refrigerator was well over 5 degrees, so water, milk and other beverages needed to go in the freezer for half an hour to actually be refreshing. The freezer itself was too warm as well, however. Ice cream for example, was pretty much melted, 5 minutes after removing it from the freezer. It was not at all optimal, in a warm country such as Italy. We went there in probably the hottest week of the year, with 35 degrees on average, which didn't make it any better, but of course not something that was under Marie's control.
There were only small wooden stools to sit on at the table, which was very uncomfortable for longer periods of time.
We did manage to cook a few meals in the apartment, but it was definitely not under ideal circumstances.

It is definitely worth to mention the incredible location of this apartment. If you stay here, you are within walking distance of all of inner Florence! The view from the apartment over the town square was also very pleasurable, and there was a lovely restaurant with live musicians on a daily basis, right below it!
The apartment does indeed have potential to be a GREAT holiday apartment that has everything desirable, but it is just not at all there yet!

Are you traveling to Florence, with the intend to visit a new restaurant every night, spend almost every waking hour touring the city, only needing a place to sleep at night, this apartment has my recommendation!

The reviews mentioning a weird smell and such, does not at all correlate with our experience. To us, the apartment seemed clean and hygienic.
