Gianpaolo was a lovely host- easy to communicate with and very welcoming. We loved the neighborhood, quick to walk to tourist attractions but great things to do right near the apartment as well. The apartment was very clean with a generous amount of supplies in the kitchen and bathroom left for visitors. Unfortunately due to the rain & heat Florence is having a real mosquito problem right now. Obviously this is not Gianpaolo's fault, but the reason we took the apartment was because of the garden-- which was beautiful-- and we were unable to use it because of the mosquitos. Without the garden there is minimal living space in the apartment, so if you're hanging out for a couple hours you are more or less on the bed (or a small table in the kitchen). Additionally, the bed is a bit small/creaky. Outside of these two issues it was a lovely place to stay with an incredibly welcoming and helpful host.
