Not good at all. This flat was very dirty, from floor to blankets. the stored blankets were extremly dirty. The shower head was filthy. The living room furniture was also very dirty. We had i small toilet paper in each bathroom. I messaged the host to get more supplies but did not here back from him. The garden was over grown and smelled of animal excrete. The location was in what i would describe as a ghetto. This should be posted so renters are aware. I could go on, but you get the picture. I could not recommend this flat. ran out. C

We really liked the central location and the fact that the property had a garden (even though it was rather neglected and didn't match the pictures). However there were a lot of problems with the property. Only one of the three bathrooms was fully functional (broken showers, missing showerheads, sinks that wouldn't drain); two of the bedrooms had no curtains so one member of the group had to sleep in the living room; the kitchen was not properly stocked for the number of guests. The dirty linen from the previous guests had been left in the hall and was not collected during the week we stayed. Many of these problems had been noted by previous guests but not addressed. We felt it was a real shame that a property with so much potential to be a great place to stay had been allowed to get into this condition. The pictures on the listing don't give a true image of the property and Vrbo should be aware of this. This property is cheaper than many places in Florence so we did not expect luxury, but even at a slightly lower cost there are basic minimum standards that should be maintained and we would urge the owners/managers to improve the property. Anyone thinking about renting this property should be aware that there are still a lot of problems with it.

The location, within walking distance of the Duomo, Uffizi, Accademia, etc. was great. It was a tad long to SMN train station with luggage, but do-able. The unit was very spacious with four full bedrooms, 3 baths, a large kitchen, dining area and living room. Even a washer and drying building out back along with a nice sitting area in "The Garden". Some nits: there was no coffee maker and the toaster did not work. Two of the bathroom doors had become saturated and stuck badly. One of the shower doors was missing in the master bath. It would have been nice to have olive oil, salt, pepper and paper towels in the kitchen. The dining table was too wide for the space. Hard to sit at or get by. The unit could use a coat of paint. The garden could benefit from weed removal and shrub trimming. Addressing those would make it a true "luxury" stay. By the way, strangely, the thermostat needs to be set to "Umbrella" for the hot water to work! Overall a very nice unit and nice stay.

After months of planning our dream Italian vacation, we were extremely disappointed upon our arrival. The quality and cleanliness levels were not at the levels you would strive for the cost of this property. While the listing stated three functioning bathrooms, two of them had outstanding issues. The first bathroom in the entryway flooded with each shower and the water damage on the door indicating this is an ongoing issue. Also, the door to the bathroom was difficult to open and shut with scrapes on flooring because of this. The second bathroom had the same door issue and the shower door was off the tracks and the shower was non-functional. The garden patio door was broken and made us feel extremely unsafe during our stay. Lastly, the bedding felt unsanitary with pillows missing pillowcases and cheap sheets that ripped upon making bed. Overall, we are extremely disappointed with our experience. The quality of the property did not match the listing description nor did the price of the accomodations. It is surprising that this listing continues to be available as advertised and skeptical about the management company’s standard. I would highly recommend not booking this property.

This apartment is very run down. Broken doors. Broken dishwasher. Inadequate kitchen. Outdoor space not tended to. Barking dog next door woke us all every morning . We were attacked by biting mosquitoes while inside. Water never got hot. Only lukewarm. Only positives were comfortable beds, nice towels and good location.

Its true: the appartement is well situated, in a quiet neighbourhood, only a few steps away from the market of Sant’Ambrogio and on walking distance of all the treasures of the city. It is also true that the appartement was very clean and that the beds are good. But: the kitchen equipment is rather poor, we had to buy a coffee can ourselves to be able to make coffee for 6. Some important household appliances are worn out: the dishwasher doesn’t work (which was mentioned already in a other comment, so nothing was done about it); the washing machine situated in a small shed in the garden was covered with dust and cobwebs; the refrigerator doesn’t close completely resulting in a thick layer of ice inside; while attempting to open the door of a shower cabin, it unexpectedly shattered in 1000 pieces. The concierge promised to remove the glass shards but we didn’t see anyone coming. The only reaction was to make us pay for a new shower cabin! The picture of the garden is really misleading: instead of pots with beautiful plants there are only hugh wild grasses covering everything. It’s pity we can not show a picture with the actual situation. It is clear that Pilastri Garden had been neglected over the past years. It will need some investments to make it ‘a slice of heaven’ again. And as long as the garden isn’t clean up, the actual picture should be removed.

Things are falling apart, the backyard was in atrocious condition (not to mention mosquitoes everywhere.), very little kitchen supplies (i.e., no paper towels, minimal dishwashing liquid, nothing to clean with or wipe up.) … That being said in the location of a superb but not sure I’d come back to this particular property

There was a few issues: the living room French doors were broke and could not lock. I felt it jeopardized our security. We closed the outside shutters which helped. Our train got delayed and extended time to get taxi so ended up 20 minutes late and was charged the late fee. The place had many bugs and probably needs an exterminator.
