We had a brilliant stay at Giovanni’s apartment in Florence - the location is amazing, right next to Gallery Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio! The street outside the apartment is full of tourists during the day, but it was nice and quiet when we closed the windows. The street was quiet at night (though of course you hear the church bells on the hour!) and it was safe to walk around after dark.
The apartment is beautiful and just like the photos. It was great to have a big space and having a full size bath tub was a luxury 👍🏻 Florence can be quite expensive and we really appreciated hat Giovanni showed us where the supermarket was (we cooked in some evenings). The kitchen has herbs and seasonings for use, along with some leftovers from other guests (also in the bathroom) which were really useful. The WiFi was fine, and we really appreciated Giovanni’s quick replies to messages.
For info, there is a taxi rank around the corner and a ride to SMN Florence train station with luggage was €7.50 (Saturday morning).
We had an amazing time in Florence and Giovanni’s apartment was a key part of our trip. We will be back!
