Vince's apartment is in a super location, literally 2-3 minutes from the Ponte Vecchio.
We had a great time in Florence, but unfortunately I have a few gripes about the place.
The apartment is definitely for no more than two adults + a child or something. I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact that one bedroom and the living room have no doors.
Another minus that the host could have thought of was the lack of hangers and wardrobe in the main bedroom.
There were quite a few pointless utensils in the kitchen, but not a single liquor or wine glass. We are in Italy after all ;)
The passive attitude of the host days before our arrival was also unpleasant. I wrote to Vince several times, but he either didn't respond or was evasive.
I honestly felt like he was doing me a favor for which we should be infinitely grateful. We only received the check-in instructions a few hours before check-in. There were a ton of terms and conditions attached to the "instructions". I understand that there needs to be some order, but this pedantry definitely "kills" hospitality and instills a sense of guilt and/or suspicion. After all, we are tourists, not criminals. However, I can't deny that the apartment was clean, warm and the beds were comfortable.
It is in order to take measures for the front door, which is constantly banging and waking "all" Florence.
Vince's place has potential, hope he develops it further. Still, we leave with a smile.
