The property was not at all as nice, well maintained or as clean as the photos depicted. Rotted window frame, damaged plaster, mildewed shower curtain and shower pan, dirty brick floors, both bathrooms had leaking water. The person who met us and checked us in obviously was not familiar with the property, did not offer assistance with our luggage up 74 stairs, had to call someone about the WiFi access, and did not explain how to operate anything. There are multiple people who appear to be addicts on the streets just block away. Vrbo and the property manager were unhelpful. I sent Vrbo multiple photos of the property issues. The property manager allegedly checked the leaks while we were out and reported no leaks. Vrbo continually insisted that I must call support to speak with an agent even though I repeatedly explained that I could only communicate verbally via WhatsApp, and that my US cellular phone service was not available. The property manager declined to provide a partial refund so Vrbo offered a 120 Vrbo credit for a future booking, which I declined as I have no intention of booking through Vrbo again after this experience. The enjoyment of our stay in Florence was diminished by the multiple daily back and forth messages with Vrbo, the condition and location of the property, and the eventual lack of an acceptable resolution.
The location was awesome! It was central to Firenze - we could walk everywhere we wanted to go - including the Piazza del Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Uffizi Gallery.
The apartment is clean, quiet, and comfortable. It is on the 4th floor (74 steps/no elevator). We didn't prepare any food there, but it seemed that there were no basics such as cooking oil. It has two bathrooms.
Host was very responsive in helping us check-in and out.
We were very disappointed with our stay at this apartment. The photos on the listing did not accurately represent the actual condition of the property, and several significant issues made our experience frustrating.First, potential guests should be aware that the apartment requires climbing five full flights of stairs. Carrying luggage up that far is a real challenge, and this should be explicitly stated in the listing description so guests know what to expect.More importantly, the property has serious, unaddressed maintenance issues: Unresolved Water Heater Leak: There was an active leak coming from the water heater. We reported this to the host, who acknowledged the issue but took no steps to fix or mitigate it during our stay. Electrical Safety Hazard: To make matters worse, the water from the heater leak was dripping directly onto the power cable and electrical outlet, creating a major safety concern. Leaking Sink and Mold: Moisture from the kitchen sink was actively seeping through the wall into the living room, causing visible mold growth on the living room wall.Living with active water leaks, electrical risks, and visible mold is unacceptable. While the location in Florence is great, the host needs to fix these serious plumbing and structural issues before hosting future guests. I cannot recommend staying here in its current state.

Renter beware
I arranged an early check in, and they were somewhat helpful with that. Plus Samer carried my suitcase up the stairs. But nowhere in the online description was there information that this was at the top of 4 flights of stairs and no elevator. That was the second bad thing. The first was the location: not ideal for a solo woman traveler. The third was the decor. I understand that Italians have different opinions about nudity, but they could have chosen other artwork to put on the wall in the hallway: fruit, angels, scenes of Italy, etc. But instead there are borderline indecent pictures. Perhaps not quite pornigraphy, but I definitely would not let young children stay there. I stayed long enough to use the wifi to book another hotel room and then left. The only reason this was a 2 star instead ofone is because they worked with me for an early check in and the place was clean.
