Sid’s place is incredible. We loved spending time on the rooftop and most of the nights we had it completely to ourselves, even though it’s shared with the building. There are no limited hours for the rooftop which we really appreciated.
The place itself it great. The bedrooms are surprisingly very peaceful and quiet despite being on a “busy” street. We couldn’t hear any noise from outside while we were in the unit. The unit is air conditioned and has a full kitchen, which I wish we had picked up fresh pasta from the San Lorenzo market for a change up of all the restaurants.
You could easily sleep five or more people here, but it was still a great deal for just two of us. Make sure you can handle some stairs though because at the end of the day our bodies were so tired from walking around Florence that getting up to the apartment was tiring, although still worth it.
As far as check-in/out, Sid reached out a few days before so if you don’t have a SIM card/a way to communicate through Airbnb then that could be tricky since you do have to schedule a time to meet with him (albeit that can be flexible within the timeframe alloyed). Luckily this was later in our trip because our SIM cards took a day to start working (why... we’ll never know).
