We (my wife and I) met with Giovanni and he gave us a warm welcome, he guided us through the Florence and its surroundings (what and where to see, how to get there). He was like a dear cousin you are visiting after a long time, that's how I felt. The place is just like in the pictures, we oarked the car inside the garage, it is near public transport and the store. It's very quiet so you can take a good sleep and rest. An ideal base to see and explore Florence!
