I really enjoyed my stay with Giuseppe. I was there 7 days exploring wonderful Florence. Guiseppe was most informative, and gave great advice on what to see and do over the week. I enjoyed our talks over a nice glass of wine!
I highly recommend his place to stay. It is near busses and site seeing bus stops. The street was a little noisy, but that is part of the atmosphere of Venice. The beautiful, heavy wooden covers on the windows did lots to block out the noise, and late at night there was little traffic anyway on the street. The apartment was in a XIX century building, with high, decorated ceilings. It was lovely. The apartment was on the 4th floor, and there wasn't an elevator, so be prepared to carry your luggage up. The apartment was very clean, and there were snacks provided!
All in all a very nice trip, nice accommodations, and a very nice host!
