The place is OK, functional, basic. If you're looking for any level of design or hominess, this isn't it. The AC works great and that was a blessing.
The value here is in the location. You step outside and you're immediately in the beautiful hustle and bustle of Florence. And in the room, you don't hear any street noise. I did, however, hear the neighbors loudly.
The worst part was that my wife and I got stuck in the elevator for a half hour. I don't know why it happened. Maybe our luggage was too heavy. But the elevator wouldn't reach the floor, no matter how long we waited, and the elevator door locked shut on us. We pressed the button to go back down to ground floor, waited and waited, and it never reached, and the doors wouldn't open. We were stuck between floors, banging on the doors, pushing the alarm button, hoping someone would come. It was sweltering hot in there and we were having trouble breathing. Thank God, another airbnb guest heard us and kept us company out there, and called Bianca on the phone. Finally, after a half hour, the owner got us out. I'm considering calling airbnb about this.
