We stayed for 9 nights in this lovely apartment. The location couldn't be better. We LOVED the lively piazza below. The gelato shop, the cafe and bar were all great local hot spots. Of course this means there is also noise at night, but it is totally worth it! The apartment is clean and well equipped. The wifi is fast. We managed fine without air conditioning, and as long as you close the shutters during the day and open everything up in the evening the temperature is fine. There is no question we would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to be centrally located in Florence, but also have a bit more of a local experience. Giancarlo is a great host and his offer to pick us up at the airport and the brief tour he gave us on the way to the apartment were much appreciated. We really couldn't have asked for more!
