Five star experience from start to finish. Giovanni's penthouse apartment is immaculate, and he was a stellar host! He was very communicative & so kind to wait for us when our journey from Milan ended up taking longer than expected. We enjoyed bottles of wine, juice, & water he left for us, & watching the sun rise over the Arno river at dawn from his private & hidden balcony is a memory we will cherish forever!
The apartment itself is more spacious than I'd imagined for a European flat. It's also within easy walking distance of every sight you want to visit in Florence, but far enough away from the Duomo & main thoroughfares that it feels private and very quiet - perfect for resting & conquering your jet lag.
For those traveling with a car, there is a secure overnight garage 1.5 blocks away, which is easily accessible & does NOT require that you drive through a ZTL zone.
A stellar experience all around, and the perfect prelude to our wedding week in Tuscany. Thank you for everything, Giovanni!
