Overall, this is an okay Air BNB. It’s layout is similar to a small hotel room, and it appears larger online than what it actually is. We didn’t spend a lot of time here, since we were out all day and evening, so it was an okay place to spend the night.
The location of the place is good, it’s a short walk to the train station, close to the river, and there are lots of local cafes in the neighborhood. The space itself was clean, however there are a few things I would warn people before booking:
- this is a self check in system, and locating the air bnb was a bit tricky, and the coordinates / map we were given didn’t match the location
- the bathroom door handle was broken when we arrived, and despite the management coming to fix it the next day, it broke again shortly after
- the shower has no door, making it cold, and also difficult to keep the bathroom dry
- the wifi connection was quite weak
- on one occasion the water was brown, however later we were told that was an issue with the municipality of Florence and not the fault of the building
The positive thing, was that the host was quite communicative and responsive to the issues we ran into (by air bnb direct message) - that was helpful. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again, but if you’re ok with a place just to lay your head, this is a good option.
