Giancarlo had to be out of town the day I arrived in Florence so his wife and father picked me up at the train station and took me to the apartment. Giancarlo had been great about communicating with me right up to that day and then Cindy picked up once he was gone. They were very helpful in getting me settled in the apartment and giving me tips on getting around Florence. The apartment was just as I expected and very clean. The location was in a quieter neighborhood, across the river from the city center which was nice. There were several restaurants and stores nearby and still within a easy walk of the city center.
