The apartment is gorgeous and exactly as described, with a great location near the Arno. It was very comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. Gian had great communication and picking up / returning the keys was straight forward. The building is clean and feels very safe - in fact it's right opposite a Carabinieri station! There is a supermarket 30 secs from the apartment and lots of nice bars and restaurants in the local area - Gian had a good recommendation for San Carlo, a bar just down the road. The apartment is a short walk from the centre of Florence, with all its attractions and shops and also really easy to get to from Stazione Santa Maria Novella. We had a fabulous stay - Gian's place is great value for money and we hope to stay here again next time we visit Florence.
