Gianluigi and Luisa stayed up and welcomed us warmly into their cozy and romantic apartment even if our flight arrived later than expected that night.
They oriented us quickly on everything, making sure we knew the ins and outs of the apartment. They even provided us with maps of the city and recommendations for nearby restaurants. In any case, their place was just across the hall so we could talk to them if needed.
The place itself is stunning, and almost hotel-like with its decor. Clean, convenient and with nearly everything you could ask for in the bathroom and kitchen. Their breakfast was more than enough to sustain us for our whole stay - bread, butter, fruits, oatmeal, cereals, milk, juice, coffee, and even a bottle of wine!
The washer is conveniently inside the room, and we were able to enjoy the facilities of the big bathroom. The place is quite quiet and peaceful, so a soak in the tub with the free wine is not out of the question.
The location is conveniently near the Accademia and a short walk to the Duomo, but a little far from the other sights. Luckily, many of the buses stop in nearby Piazza San Marco; that is, if you can figure out the confusing Florentine transport system!
All in all, great for a romantic night or a place for small families.
