We arrived at Gianpaolo's a place to stay after a whirlwind 4 days in Rome and a 1 1/2 hour train ride to Florence. Needless to say , we were exhausted. We were greatest by Gianpaolo who was most charming and welcoming. We also met his parents who wrote charming as well. We congregated in their amazing Garden to get to know one another. This experience alone was a highlight of our trip. The location of the apartment is perfect and quiet. The adjacent street is filled with restaurants , food stores, and everything a traveler would need. Our apartment was stocked with all the basics one needs including groceries. Gianpaolo provided a list and maps of the major sites as well as fabulous restaurants. We definitely highly recommend "A Place To Stay"
