We stayed in Giovannis florentine flat in the beginning of September. Giovanni was an excellent host. Good communication both before and during. He was ready with on the spot recommedations for good places to eat. It was nice that he was so close by (he lives in the flat above).
The flat was very central. Right next to the Ufizi, Palazzo Vecchio and Ponte Vecchio as well as to all the shopping. All though there are zunds of tourists everywhere, the street is very quiet.
The flat is nice and clean. The floors are lovely. In the photos it seems very bright, and it is, when the lights are on. The bed was nice and hard. Kitchen small and functional. The bathroom was fine. The hot water sometimes on and off in the shower, but it came quickly back.
All in all we would love to come back.
