We really enjoyed our recent three-day stay at the apartment of Giovanni. We were welcomed by his brother, who was very friendly and gave us a tour around the apartment and some recommendations for the city.

The apartment is very centrally located, you can easily walk to all of the main attractions. It is just on the other side of the river (very close to the Ponte Vecchio) so it is less of a touristy feel, but there are more locals around. The apartment has been decorated nicely and even though it is not very large there is a lot of storage space. So my wife and I were able to comfortable spend our three days in Florence there.

Also worth noting is that the apartment has a laundry machine, kitchen with a stove and microwave, and airconditioning. A portable internet hotspot enables you to both have internet in the apartment and to take it with you on the go, so you can actually access internet wherever you are in town. That was a really nice device, although the first few days we used it we had some troubles connecting and with the internet speed. The last 1,5 days it however worked perfectly.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time at the apartment. The only issue was that the water of the shower turned cold fairly quick. Apart from that we only have positive things to say about our stay and we would definitely recommend staying at this apartment.
