Great 360 panoramic view in a great location! The unit is near a bunch of great restaurants and shops. It also has a great view of the Tuscan style rooftops and you can hear the city streets below. The owners were also very quick to respond to emails.
It did have some downside though....it was a small studio which was tight for 2 people. There was no place to unpack our clothes (we were staying there for 5 days) so we just lived out of our suitcases.
The pictures of the unit itself is not a good representation of it. The “art” on the ceiling is actually a poster hanging loosely by string. There is painter’s tape all over the ceiling from when they painted he wood on the ceiling but never finished the job. The red couch featured is actually an old mattress with a loose sheet thrown over it. The sliding glass doors didn’t lock, which made us feel uneasy.
There were several issues in the bathroom. They put a plastic platform in the shower so you wouldn’t stand directly on the tile. Both the shower tile and platform were dirty and we wish we had brought “shower shoes”.
There was no hot water for first few hours upon check-in. They needed to send 3 maintenance people before it was corrected. There was a permanent bad odor which smelled like a gas leak, coming from the bathroom. We slept with the window open in December, which was freezing and still did not fix the issue. It turned out to be coming from the pipes. They sent people to work on it but they were unsuccessful.
Overall, it has a great view but was not well maintained and not the romantic Florence experience we were hoping for.
