Lapo's place is located in the gorgeous high-end shopping district of Florence which receives lots of foot traffic and thus feels very safe at night. The apartment has a lovely kitchen if you feel like cooking as well as a comfy living room. The bathroom is less attractive (and lacking counterspace for toiletries and towel hooks somehow) but has a very handy washer and dryer in it. One note: be careful with the lofted sleeping area. Taller guests will definitely end up hitting their head on the sloped ceiling rafts by the end of the trip. Communication with Lapo's sister, Giulia, was easy.
