Giorgio's father was very nice and showed us around the apartment, and provided some maps for us. The room is exactly like the pictures. The place is great as it is centrally located to all the attractions, and only a few mins walk away from the train station. You have to climb a few sets of stairs to get to the flat, but we didn't mind as it helped work off all the food we've been eating! You can hear the street noise when sleeping but just make sure the window is closed and it's not so bad. If your visiting Florence to check out the sites, this is the place you want to be. For the value the location is fantastic!
