My girlfriend and I spent 4 days at Gianpaolo's appartment, and found Gianpaolo to be a very welcoming and facilitating host. An added convenience is his perfect English!

Location:
The appartment is positioned perfectly; south of the river Arno, you're in the city, but away from the tourist masses. Just about every point of interest is reachable by foot. The Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Boboli Gardens are 10 mins away. Another 10 minutes further and you find yourself in Florence's city center. A nearby square, Piazza Santo Spirito, was our favorite hangout in the evening. Charming atmosphere and nice restaurants.

Appartment:
The appartment is well equipped, and clean. The rooms stayed cool, even during a series of hot summer days. The garden is a big bonus, a perfect place to unwind after a long, hot day.

Will recommend without hesitation!
