Romantic Pitti

The apartment is very shabby and has foul odors. The entire apartment smells of sewer gas. One of the bedrooms smelled of vomit and old sweat. There were smashed mosquitoes on the walls. Holes in the walls, dust on the lighting fixtures, stains on the sofa, dirty cutting board. The air is very stale. There is no air conditioning, just an assortment of old fans. Florence gets very hot and muggy. It is VERY loud if you open the windows, and mosquitoes come in. There are unsightly objects, such as cleaning supplies, old rag mop, and random junk about the place. The lamp shades were crooked, and one had what appeared to be a blood stain on it. These unsightly spaces and objects are not shown in the advertisement photographs. I had reserved for three nights, but ended up not even staying one night. I could not bear to be in this place. I changed my flight, losing the last two days of my vacation and sight-seeing in Florence. (At such short notice, all other available hotels were way out of my price range.) I left the apartment at 9pm, and went to stay in the airport until my 6:30am flight.

Nice property, clean and easy access to public transportation.
