The location couldn't be beat! So close to everything. However, the bed was so uncomfortable that both my husband and I had a backache starting the 2nd day that just got worse each morning. Eventually, I slept on the couch one evening to see if that was better. While I'm sure it helped my back, it was difficult to sleep there because of the noise and bright lights outside. A small price to pay for being in such a wonderful location! We wound up taking several doses of ibuprofen every morning and afternoon to deal with it.
Generally, the apartment was very, very clean! However, the shower floor and part to the shower wall had a layer of mildew that is unappealing. In circumstances like this, I usually go by some bleach spray and treat the mildew myself. But since the grocery stores nearby were very limited in their selection, I was not able to do that.
The washer in the ajpartment worked well. We did not use the dishwasher as we were not going to go buy the dishwashing tablets when we were only staying for five days. Would we stay here again? No, not unless the bed was replaced! It really did make that much of an impact on our enjoyment of the wonderful city of the Florence. I do applaud the owners for the other amenities in their apartment. It's a shame it's ruined by not being able to get a good night's sleep.
