We stayed at Gianpaolo's apartment on 9/27-9/29/13. The apartment is as described on this website. We enjoyed our stay and would heartily recommend it to others. The location is convenient to major tourist sites yet is in a distinct neighborhood outside of the central tourist district of Florence. Gianpaolo and his parents were an absolute pleasure to interact with and were very helpful with information on Florence and Italy in general. They are responsible and intelligent as well as warm and generous. The garden area outside of the rear of the residence is delightful and a welcome oasis from the city. The kitchen is well equipped and there are ample businesses in the area to shop at. Gianpaolo had stocked the kitchen with fresh fruit, milk, breakfast cereal, which was quite helpful after a long journey. There are numerous restaurants and bars in a variety of prices ranges within walking distance. It is a simple and reliable accommodation at a fair price.
