Arrived Florence

ITALY | Wednesday, 26 September 2012 | Views [439]

Arrived.
Found our accommodation after again heading off in the wrong direction. Maps work but descriptions in english written by foreign language people just get lost in translation.
Room is warm and has a window onto a busy street. The problem with this format is that you can open the windows to let the fresh air into the room and cool it but the street noise is too much for sleeping. Close the windows and the air runs out and the temperature rises. A common problem in hotels and hostels. We have an additional problem which is that the room is next to reception and the noisy entrance door.
The room is not too bad. It is large with high ceilings and the beds are comfortable. There is only one bathroom and shower to share but there are not that many people sharing the facilities as most have en-suite facilities we were just being tight arses yet again.  We have paid for the room so will have to stick it out. Not expecting much sleep for the next few days with this setup.
The big advantage is access to the old town in Florence and the train station. 10 min either way.
