A slice of heaven in the heart of Florence? Unfortunately not (anymore)
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.
