The apartment is located a few steps from the train station, close to the central market (great food court) and walking distance from anywhere downtown Florence.
Now, check in was quite difficult as Maria does not answer on Airbnb chat or sms, and since she speaks only Italian it makes the communication very difficult.
The apartment is very dark, windows are toward an inner court, full of stuff from the restaurant downstairs with many spots for standing water, meaning mosquitos invasion as soon as you open the windows. Should you try to leave the windows opened anyway (or like us because you didn't know about the mosquitos), there is not much noise from the street, but the AC from all the other apartment (no AC on this one) will not let you sleep.
We kept the kitchen door closed because of the oil/fat smell in there. the dishes were definitely not clean, and the oven trails were extremely dirty. The oven itself was not working and the small oven toaster did not have trails, so no toast possible.
Maria was very responsive and nice though, fetching few things missing and bringing right away, even allowing early check in. Nevertheless, this was definitely not enough to make the overall stay in the apartment as enjoyable as it could have been. Definitely overpriced for what it is.
