We loved everything about Vins and Giancarlo's apartment. They greeted us in the piazza and helped us with our luggage, then showed us around the apartment. It was an excellent welcome. We felt at home in the apartment right away, we are traveling with a toddler and we had lots of room to set up his travel crib. The automatic shades were great for keeping the rooms dark during nap time. The coffee shop right outside served a delicious caffe latte and the restaurant and gelato spot around the corner were amazing. We loved staying in this neighbourhood, it felt less touristy than even a couple of blocks closer to the Ponte Vecchio. Vins was prompt with all his communication during our stay, and upon departure generously dropped us back at the train station when we were having trouble finding a taxi. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment and this host, it was an excellent experience.
