If you're staying at Samuel's place, you're staying for the location. It's the perfect spot to explore Florence. Samuel was also super accommodating and he sends you a detailed message on how to get to the place and restaurant suggestions nearby.
However, there are a few downsides. Because you're downtown, it is loud at night. The windows are thin and you hear everything. It's also up 4 flights of stairs, but you do know that going in. It's a fairly small room and the door to the bathroom doesn't fully close, which isn't ideal for privacy. Otherwise, the room worked for us for a one-night stay.
