Views on Florence

This was my second stay here! The photos of the view don’t do it justice!!!!!

NA

The views were sensational.

Not that I didn’t like it, and I was aware because of another review I had read, but there are few steps down to the apartment, which I would recommend not doing in the dark the first time.

The view is beautiful, would be even better when you get to see snow on the Remarkables.

The stairs down carrying heavy suitcases isn't ideal and the parking isn't the best, but they are just small annoyances, for me the view and price made up for it.

The view is magnificent, lake, mountains, airport. The bathroom was good, shower was good too. Easy check in with lock box.

The description said there was a bedroom and a living room. There is not. It is one small area, the size of a small hotel room with no space at all to put your luggage. It is very cramped. The description read there was private parking. There is not. You have to park in the street above, about 100m from the entrance to 5a. The other option is to mount the curb to park with two wheels on the grass, which wasn't feasible for our small hire car. While we parked on the very narrow street to unload or load the car, the neighbour was not happy. The description does not mention the long row of irregular gravel steps to reach the entrance to 5a. There is no rail and the lighting isn't great. The only place to eat is the tiny lounge, in bed, or on a chair outside. No table (there is no room). There was no human interaction. There is very little information and no instructions. We couldn't get the coffee machine to work, and didn't want to break it, so after one attempt, we abandoned it. The wifi was slow and the tv often froze. The curtains near the tv were dirty with ??? something green??? on the backing. Otherwise the place seemed clean. The bed was OK, a bit saggy. We learned a lesson about residential accommodation being listed on booking.com. we thought this property was over rated and over priced. We felt deceived and disappointed. If the description had been more honest about the limitations of the place we would have booked elsewhere. We travel a fair bit and we have never had to write such a poor review. The rest of our accom in new zealand has been wonderful.
