Gianfranco's place was perfect! We were met by Gianfranco's daughter, Laura, who gave us many great recommendations. We were able to see most of the sights that she recommended and we also went to the restaurants Laura recommended. They were all great! Laura was a truly wonderful host. She even provided a recommendation for where to get a hair cut when I asked! The location is spectacular so we were able walk to all the places we wanted to see. When were were done seeing the sights, Gianfranco's apartment was a refreshing place to come back to with its air conditioning and beautiful decorating. If I return to Florence I would try to pick when I visit based on the availability of Gianfranco's and Laura's apartment!
