Giulio´s apt was truly great for us. We love this side of the Arno with the hip bars and restaurants and a little more local, less touristy and relaxed than the center of Florence. The apt is very cozy and we felt right at home. Great beds, heating (we suffered the cold and rainy october weather), and full kitchend with all gadgets necessary. Giulio even waited for us with a friend to help take our bags the two flight walk up. It is a home away from home.
