I highly recommend George's place. Excellent location within walking distance to Piazza Signoria over Ponte Vecchio. The flat is located in a local neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the touristic areas of Florence, and situated close to the Arno River. George greeted us in front of the apartment as we pulled up in a cab, and was very kind and friendly in acquainting us to the apartment and even provided us with tips on where to buy local produce (at a market directly across the street). There is much to do and see within a short walk from the apartment, including the Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace. As for the apartment, it's beautiful and cozy, lending to a "local" experience. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is space for hosting a dinner party. George kindly informed us in advance that the use of the AC could incur an additional nominal charge. However, the apartment gets great ventilation with all its windows. If you are concerned about mosquitos they have screens so not to worry! Highly recommend. Thanks George, we had a blast!
