This is a difficult flat to review because our impressions seem to be somewhat different from those of other reviewers. Its worth noting that these hosts have multiple listings, including three in this same building. So maybe the reviews are mixed together. It don't know. In any case, my review is for "Fiesolana Giglio," the flat which fronts onto Via Fiesolana (with the Rex Nightclub diectly across the street).

So, the review:

1. Hosts: Excellent, as everyone else has said. Luca and Abla were great, responsive, and easily accessible from the train station. Very nice and friendly, and I speak highly of them. I hesitate to offer a poor review of the flat iself, but I owe it to fellow renters.

2. The flat: Technically, the description was mostly accurate. However, it does not convey the real ambience. The flat has no direct lighting and only a single functional window, also very old concrete/tile floors which are stained and faded. There is a good bit of bare concrete on walls and at floor level. The overall effect is gloomy and uninviting.

There is no place in the flat to comfortably "lounge," like a real couch or large armchair. In the living area is actually a bed, and not comfortable for just sitting.

Bathroom door is huge and solid and heavy, and hung outside the bath on a slider that does not work. It usually takes (literally) two people to slide it, and even then does not really close completely. One person can hardly move it from inside the bathroom.

Kitchen had no paring knife or spatula, no bowls like for cereal or soup, older cooking pans, and a single kitchen towel, and no paper towels or napkins. Gas burners and stovetop workd very well, but there is zero surface for food prep.

The flat was excessively noisy from the evening we arrived and throughout the week we stayed, either from neighbors talking, their bathroom fan running, steps and voices from upstairs flat, construction noise, or music from the nightclub directly across the street.

Wifi has three networks you can choose from, some better than others. But signal via "Speedtest app" varied between a hi of about 12 mbs to less than 1 mbs during the week we stayed.

Heat from the wall-mounted AC/heat units was fine, and we were never chilly. We never got the radiant heat units to work, however.

In summary: The flat "Fiesolana Giglio" is well-located to see Florence, and reasonably priced. Also, the hosts are excellent. However, because of the noise, gloomy ambience, limited kitchen supplies, bathroom door, and lack of a real couch or canapé, and so-so WiFi, I cannot recommend it.
