Giulia and her husband met my wife and daughter at their lovely apartment in Florence. Immediately they made them feel comfortable and like family. Giulia had provided many well thought out comforts such as pastries, fresh milk, some Italian Chianti and bottled water. The apt was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The hosts even provided necessary toiletries, cleaning supplies and a very handy large map of the cities main attractions. Giulia was in constant communication with us prior to arrival. The location of her apartment was close to many attractions and restaurants and yet far enough away to avoid all the tourists "hustle and bustle". This was a classic and enjoyable stay. We would return next visit to Florence!
