Gianpaolo's place is in a perfect location. This side of the river is where you should eat and live period. It is way less touristy, and you really feel like you are living in Florence as a local. Gianpaolo has a wonderful apartment with a beautiful backyard! We even ate grapes right off the vine. Gianpaolo was flexible with meeting times, very responsive, and was super helpful in booking a taxi for us and even met us to say goodbye at 4:30 in the morning! Another thing to note: water pressure in the shower was great! We will definitely rebook here next time we come!
