We stayed at Salvatore's property for 7 night 8 days.
The flat is a huge place and it is in the first floor and there is an elevator. However we used it only twice when we arrived and we left because our heavy luggage. We flew to Venice and took the fast train from Venice to Florence.
We didn't see or meet Salvatore personally but he sent someone to give us a key and return it. The communication was smoothly and pretty fast answered. So I am happy and satisfied with it.
There is two air condition in the flat which in the sleeping room and the other one in living room. The flat has an open kitchen with kitchen exhaust air. However we always opened the windows and door when we cooked something for dinner or breakfast. The door leads you to the small balcony which they have small flowers and plants. It is very nice to seat and having drink at the balcony in the early evening. At the house they also have amazon prime for you. We don't use it very often but because it is a smart TV, so we used it to check for our daily plan :-)
Btw. the internet is considered quiet fast, personally I don't find any different from my internet at home.
It is our first time to visit Florence or a rent Airbnb in Italy. We stayed in hotel in Venice. So I am personally no have idea about expectation.
In the house you can't used the dishwasher because it is broken. The stove uses gas and we don't have any problem with it. We have been used the kitchen every morning for breakfast.. scramble eggs.
There is also a huge refrigerator that also has freezer in it.
They don't have washing machine but there is one close by.
Thank you to Daniela whom lent me his personal kitchen knife when I was asking about it. Kitchen without kitchen knife isn't kitchen :-D
Surrounding:
His place is not directly in center of Florence (Firenze) but you can reach the downtown (train station s.m. Novella) within 20 minutes from the flat by tram T2 and you can buy the tram ticket in every stop. Tram runs every 4-6 minutes and after 01:00 and Sunday every 15 minutes. We came back home very late from the San Giovanni festival, that's why I know the time table of the tram.
There are few good restaurants nearby ca. 10-13 walks which I recommended it and also a big grocery supermarket. There is also H&M and different supermarket close by (one station before).
A neighbor of Salvatore at the left side does a renovation in our third night and it was very loud and they started also very early 07:30 - 08:00am with drilling and sort of things. Otherwise it is a nice place and considered quiet place.
Make sure to bring an Autan (mosquito spray) with you because they are everywhere.
All in all, I a recommended his place if you want to experience the Florence in the eye of Florence people and feel the vibe.
