this place was amazing!! giaia's apt was located at a very central area where you can walk to most of the sites in florence, importantly the train station and the duomo. the decor was great and it was a very lovely and warm home. I guess the only thing is the noise, the apt is in a piazza and we did stay during the weekend so a lot of people walking and lots of public entertainment which we could hear from the top floor with the windows closed. on sunday, though, it was very quiet so it could've just been that we were there on the weekend. other than that, I definitely recommend this apt.
