Coco Places Firenze, Centro Storico

It was extremely central, clean and very well equiped

very spacious unit, and beautiful greenery throughout the neighborhood. i also really liked having parking available for our rental

nothing

5 minute walk from station and Duomo, but in an oasis of calm and quiet. Messaged staff on WhatsApp when we landed in Pisa and as we got through security quickly arrived in Florence an hour earlier than we thought. Staff replied quickly to messages and met us early.

WiFi was a bit slow

Great location with station, bars, restaurants, shops and sights all within easy walking distance Spacious apartments Received quick response by management to concerns raised

Disappointed no one there to hand over keys within the time frame arranged. Had to call and wait to be met. When he arrived, Coco Places Firenze rep was pleasant friendly person, although appeared unsure of number of guests staying and initially wanted to charge double tourist tax. As discussed with Management and for which received an apology, found stay was affected by lack of soundproofing. Most regularly disturbed was balcony apartment on 1st floor, being directly over entry door. Heard frequent door slamming with guests entering and leaving building. This together with noise from other apartments of footsteps and chairs scraping, impacted on enjoyment of time in Florence and cut trip short as a result Couldn’t leave windows open or enjoy sitting on balcony due to mosquitoes. Found of 2 electric zappers provided only one had sufficient liquid in for long term use (same for both apartments). Mattresses proved to be uncomfortable – initially firm when lay down, although during the night without sprung support, this allowed mattress to sink under the body and tended to wake with lower backache Found WiFi unreliable, a disadvantage when trying to arrange tickets, because tended to freeze/drop out, although know Management advise this is of ‘standard’ Need to be aware - crockery is stacked on open shelving behind worktop/sink space. As a shorter person (5’2”) reaching across and up proved to be a daily challenge. Apartments generally clean, exception being mould in balcony apartment bathroom, dusty lightshades and lighting wires (have attached photos to clarify) Upset Booking.com accommodation photos are not current and in reality rooms do not have any mats or same bright, cosy welcoming feel to them. Found lighting in sitting/dining area dull (guest photos and 1 Booking.com of same garden view apt attached) No written instructions provided to guide on use of things like air conditioning, microwave, where to empty full rubbish bins etc.,
