We stay at Giovanna’s apartment for 3 nights. We had no chance to meet her in person because she was out of Florence in connection with her work. But she arranged her friend to welcome us when we arrived. We got all the info from her very sweet friend. The apartment is exactly the same as Giovanna has described. And it is located at a perfect place: close to all the sightseeing places within walking distance and is surrounded by restaurants and bars.
We had very good communication with Giovanna. We definitely will consider to rent her lovely apartment again when we are in Florence next time. Therefore we give our highest recommendation to her apartment.
P.S. If you drive your own car to Florence as a tourist, you have to reserve a parking space in a park lot or a hotel parking space in advance in order to get a special permit because the whole city centre of Florence is closed for cars without special permission, otherwise you will get a fine if you are stopped by policemen. So pls hear carefully when Giovanna told you that you have to reserve a parking place before you arrive in Florence. :)
