Giada's apartment is wonderful. Easy to get to from the main train/bus station of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Breakfast is good and the room and bed are very comfortable. Giada is very kind and helpful. Giada was very communicative prior to my arrival as to a meeting time. The ensuite bathroom was very nice to have. Both the bedroom and bathroom were extremely clean. Giada provided me a map of Florence and a suggestion for a back up restaurant in case the one I had planned on was full. She also provided me with an excellent tip on buying local bus tickets by text message with my Italian cell phone. The apartment is in a less touristy area . I would highly recommend anyone going to Florence to stay here.
