I’m not sure how to form this review so I’m going to do a pros and cons list.
Pros:
- LOCATION! It was central, and walking distance to everything (train station, multiple museums, ponte vecchio), and the Florence Cathedral is literally outside your door.
- large space with basic necessities
- elevator to the 2nd and 3rd floor!
- host was friendly and responded quickly
- the restaurant right out front (Osteria de fiore) was delicious. We went twice!
Cons:
- the wifi provided only reached the couch in the living room. Once we walked to the bathroom and bedroom, it was gone. And there was little service in the complex.
- I am a 5’2” petite woman and I felt very snug in the shower. If you’re larger or taller, the shower will just be too small.
- no counter space in the bathroom. We ended up bringing a dining room chair in there to set our stuff on.
- we have a firm mattress at home so we didn’t mind the bed, but just be warned the bed is pretty hard.
- you can hear the church bells starting at 7am.
It sounds like I’m ragging on the place. It was clean and basic, but just not super comfortable and a few things to look out for.
