Giancarlo was a generous and friendly host he gave us a lift to the edge of the old city from the apartment we were able to leave our car at the apartment until we departed. The apartment was beautiful with country views of a castle out of the back window and lovely gardens out of the front. Everything was clean and new - it is near to the Michelangelo lookout which has beautiful panoramic views of Florence - the night view was enchanting. Giancarlo's apartment is highly recommended.
