It was a dorm that I was worried about because there was a post about the smell before I came, but when I arrived and opened the front door on the first floor, the high stairs started. I barely climbed 20 kilos with a suitcase and when I opened the dormitory there was a strange smell.
First of all, the building itself is old and the owner doesn't care much about cleaning. The living room sofa was also covered in dust on the dining table and chairs, so I cleaned the chairs and the dining table.
The bathroom floor is very dirty. When I get out of the shower, I have to lay a towel on the floor to wipe it off, but it's so dirty that I can't even step on it. When I wiped it, there was black dust on it.
Toilet cover is broken and overall unsanitary.
The most annoying thing is that the hot water only comes out for 20-30 minutes. I was washing two children, but I was so angry that the first and second washes came out with only cold water. I couldn't get out of the shower, so I ended up taking a cold shower. When I told the owner, it took 30 minutes for the hot water to fill up, but it didn't fill up even after an hour. Hot water comes out properly after 2 hours or more. I texted him to check the boiler the next day and said he would come at 10:30, and the technician rang the bell after 10 o'clock and said that if I don't go in now, I won't be able to come again. I was told to wait while I was washing, but I got annoyed by knocking on the door every 5 minutes. Eventually, he came in and looked at the boiler, and they said there was no problem and told each person to finish the shower within 5 to 10 minutes, which was ridiculous. Every time I washed, I was so stressed that the hot water was going to run out.
I don't want to come back to Florence. And if you are thinking about this accommodation, I really do not recommend it. If you go to a hostel or other Airnb at this price, you will absolutely regret it.
