If you are looking for a centrally-located apartment for a long-term stay, then look no further! We wanted to get a home base in Florence for our month-long visit to Italy, and after my first airbnb fell through I booked with Barbara and Gianni based on their great reviews. Having never been to Italy, I had a lot of questions for them before our arrival which they always responded to promptly and professionally. When our flight got changed resulting in an arrival past 11pm, Barbara and Gianni still agreed to meet us at the apartment to show us around--where they had great snacks and drinks we were grateful to receive--and helped us find a great driver to pick us up. The apartment is perfect for a long term stay. We cooked in the kitchen about 3-4 times a week and it is well-appointed and easy to use. I was visiting with my mom and dad (and for 3 days my friend) and we had plenty of room. The Conad nearby and Sant'Ambrogio Mercato kept us well fed during our trip. The location was great--near great places to eat and close to major sights--and we all got used to the 30 min walk to the train stain past the Duomo. Gianni and Barbara were wonderful hosts who helped us with a number of issues, including when my mom was pick-pocketed in Venice (Barbara and Gianni gladly agreed for us to use their phone numbers when we filed the police report). We went through a few days without wifi and with poor AC performance, but Barbara and Gianni were in contact as much as they could to resolve the issues. When we had a weird departure time early in the morning, they came to see us off the night before and convinced the same great driver to take us home. During our trio, whenever we were away from Florence we would talk about what we would do when we came "home"-- home to our apartment on Via Fiesolana. I'll never forget our Italian home or the great hosts who made our visit so comfortable!
