We planned to stay here 5 days but left after 2 days. Although checkin process was easy and the host was very communicative, they were unable to help
with critical issues we faced. The apartment we got smelled like sewage. The host says it’s because it’s an old building and the smell will go away after the rain (it didn’t). It was unbearable.
Secondly, the location is very close to the center but also in front of what seams to be the most active bar in Florence. Since our apartment was facing the street, we saw people’s shadow leaning on our window along with loud music until around 2-3 am. This led to sleepless nights and feeling lack of privacy. The host offered earplugs and confirmed the window is not transparent from outside.
Lastly, the place was not as maintained as in the pictures for example, toilet flush was barely connected the the wall. The bathroom floor was stained.
Overall. We didn’t feel comfortable staying in this place and cut our stay. The host couldn’t do more than they did. I just don’t think it’s a valid apartment for AirBnB.
