This VRBO rental in Florence has a lot going for it, with absolutely stunning views and a fantastic location that makes exploring the cityâs historic landmarks a breeze. It's very close to the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza Vecchio, and almost shouting distance to the Duomo. However, our stay was impacted by a serious mosquito problem. Despite keeping the windows closed, we woke up each morning with fresh bites on our faces and arms, which made it hard to fully enjoy our time there. We contacted the management company for help, and their only advice was to buy bug spray...not ideal. We did try to find some but it's much harder to find in Florence than I thought it would be. While the apartmentâs location and views are undeniably excellent, the mosquito problem was a major drawback and something future guests should be aware of. Some basic pest control would go a long way toward making this rental more comfortable. I really loved this rental and would stay there again with a commitment to do something about the mosquitoes before we arrive.
