There are some amazing pros and some serious cons to this property, which is why I give it an average rating:
The Good:
Renovation. property has been renovated and the decorations and some of the amenities are truly nice. The aesthetic is clear and thoughtful and I think it was a lovely renovation given the space and layout restraints.
The Host. Linda, was an absolute angel! In fact, I feel terrible about not giving this property a better rating because of her. She was kind, helpful and very quickly communicative.
The Owner. He/she was also very reasonable. We had some significant struggles in this property and he gave us a partial refund to help ameliorate those struggles.
Neighborhood. This area was perfect for us. Not too busy with plenty of food and shopping nearby, and blocks away from the Ponte Vecchio
Price. Very inexpensive and fair!
The Bad:
Moisture! Lots of mold and damage. Towels couldn't dry by 24hrs after use. And using the clothes washer was pointless because the clothes couldn't dry. It was so damp.
Safety. There are 2 sets of death stairs, plus a couple solitary step level changes. I don't feel there were reasonable efforts for safety made in regards to these. In fact, my mother fell on an almost camouflaged step level change, causing a brain bleed and broken wrist. This location is not safe for very young, elderly or anyone with a disability.
Space. This apartment is small and compartmentalized. The photos and design cleverly minimize this.
