First, The Good: excellent location. Clean, nice kitchen. Comfy beds.
The Not-As-Good: two of the bedrooms are lofts which means very hot as the ceilings are high and the air conditioning has to be set to freezing for the living area in order to be cool enough to sleep. The lighting is either too bright (all fluorescent lights) or dark because it’s the first floor of a windowless building. There is a center courtyard, which only this apartment has access to, but it’s tiny and the only source of natural light. Definitely not the sought after Florentine “Room With a View.
Also, this is run by a company that has many Airbnb’s, so no personal touches as we’ve had in other places. We had two tiny bars of soap and two half rolls of TP for four of us and our 4 night booking.
Luckily, there are shops and restaurants and gelaterias everywhere. Super close to Pitti Palace and Ponto Vecchio. It was just oddly structured and the living area was not cozy at all. The couch had room for two, max 3 if you want to be close. Otherwise it’s plastic chairs! I wouldn’t want to stay there again. And the woman who met us to let us in clearly didn’t want to be there either!
