Gherardo’s apartment is a newly renovated gem in a quieter neighborhood near Florence’s university, less than 10 minutes from the Duomo. The apartment is a third-floor walk-up but the stairs are well maintained and wide enough to easily carry luggage. The apartment has plenty of closet and storage space for those enjoying a longer stay. Give the recent renovation, the kitchen and bathroom are fully updated which stood out in comparison to other properties considered for our trip. The washing machine and drying lines on the small balcony were very helpful given our extended stay in Italy. In a city with aging apartments and hotels, AirBnB guests will not be disappointed with this property. Thank you Gherardo for a wonderful stay! We’ll be back (and hopefully with friends to use the adjoining apartment as well)!
