Made it to Firenze safely and WALKED all the way to our hostel with our heavy ass backpacks. We both have shoulder strap burns. Thinking about how nice it will be to rest in our hostel, we come to find out that we are in shady town. We come into an unmarked door, climb 6 flights of stairs and see shady looking doorman (appears to be a "Shawn")
Things are run down, one bed is so Soft that you sit on it and it sinks and folds in half. We have it on video for later viewing. The bathroom doubles as a shower, you actually stand next to the toilet and sink and shower with a drain in the floor. There is no tub. There is communal dinners in a kitchen that maybe fits 6 people in it. There will be many pictures...don't worry!
We freaked out a little and sat there in bewilderment on the beds in the room. Our 6 person female only bedroom was really a small room with 4 cots and a random man lying in one of them. We re-looked this place up online and it got good ratings. I think the place is ok (not shady) but not what we are used to, i.e. showering in a tub.
We will update you later!

hehe! the shower thing sounds normal a lot for places there, according to HGTV! :) and I've used them a lot in Asia! even Japan! hehe! don't catch any cooties! ;o) jK!
Yeah... I used a bathroom like this when I was in China. There are some cheap hotels in Hong Kong that are like that too... no tub, just a drain...and the entire floor gets wet. You should shower with your flipflops ON!
