Giobanni & Cosimo's place is located in a perfect location in Florence, it take us 5 mins to walk to the center area, where you can find shops or restaurants. it is very close to everything, and yet the apartment isn't near the street, so its actually quiet at night, then you can have a quality sleep. If you have a big suitcase, I would suggest you probably need to get on a bus or get a quick taxi ride. Because we only had 2 carry-ons, we felt ok to walk to the apartment, because the road in Florence isn't really suitable for dragging big luggage in my opinion. But overall, the apartment is close to the train station (10-12 mins by foot). Giovanni's sister and brother are very responsive to answer all kind of questions that you may have. We really recommend this apartment to every traveler who is visiting Florence. 5 Starts for sure!
