The host was incredibly easy to communicate with, and remained attentive our entire stay.
The apartment itself is mostly as advertised, was clean upon arrival, and included a number of nice touches like snacks and refreshments on the dining table.
Centrally located, and only 2kms from Santa Maria Novella station, it's location could not be better. Every attraction you could think of is within walking distance.
If you're overly picky like myself, you will start to see small, unique things about the apartment, but that's part of the historic allure.
As for cons, we had 2.
1. The wifi signal cuts in and out in the main bedroom, which when combined with virtually no LTE signal in the area ( thick concrete buildings ) made it harder for us to enjoy some down time during the afternoons that hit +38 all 3 days we were in Florence. The host has added Wi-Fi extenders, but it didn't seem to help, as more than 2 device connecting at once would cause the Extender to fail.
2. And at no fault of the Host, the apartment is right across the street from a nightclub called Red Garter, which turns a nice quiet street during the day, into a dance party from 10PM to 4 AM nightly. While the host provides earplugs, if you're a light sleeper like myself, you will want to reconsider staying here. I slept maybe 8 hours total during our 3 night stay. Red Garter does have amazing food though!
So if you sleep like a rock, this place is perfect for you. If you don't, consider your options.
