Great hosts that made us feel welcome. The place was clean and lovely. They left a fresh fruit plate and a bottle of wine with candies which was a perfect touch. It was also conveniently located about a quarter mile from both the train station and the Duomo.
It was way hotter in Florence than we anticipated. They did have an air conditioner, but not one as high powered as what we are used to. We suggested they add a fan for guests to use at night. The air conditioning we used at night wouldn’t go below 25-26 Celsius. In Texas, we normally sleep with the AC set to 20-21. I understand it may be different in Italy, but a fan would really help bridge the gap. While it was conveniently located, there was a car alarm that repeatedly went off during the night till about midnight the two nights we were there. This may not have been something we had an issue with but we needed to be up early both days we stayed and it was disturbing to our sleep. This of course is beyond the host’s control.
