We REALLY enjoyed our stay at Giovanna's place. The apartment was spacious with a GREAT bed for sleeping. Windows provided great natural light. And, there was a washer in the bathroom which Giovanna allowed us to use. It's in an excellent location in Florence with entrance to the building right on the Piazza della Signoria. There were many restaurants and Gelato places in which to get coffee, snacks and food. We were able to get around on foot easily - we were steps away from the Uffizi Gallery. The Accademia and Duomo were both very close - 10 to 15 minute walk at most. Giovanna had some pamphlets to refer to in the apartment and she was quick to respond to one of our inquiries. We loved Florence and the apartment contributed to that love affair with this city. We will be back!
