Giovanna's place is walking distance to EVERYTHING!! And not to mention her home is IMMACULATE and she's very hospitable!! Daily she provides you with a lovely continental breakfast (loved her set up--everything served hot and fresh).
She's close to The Ponte Vecchio, The Uffizi Gallery & The Galileo Museum. Not to mention she's a few blocks to the best gelato place: Gelateria dei Neri and the popular panino place: All'Antico Vinaio (get there before the lunch and dinner rush) otherwise the LONG lines are worth the wait!
On the night I arrived early from my touring the city, she welcomed me to join her to watch a movie she was watching in Italian. All which kicked off a lovely heart to heart chat (she in Italian and me part Spanish/Italian). She made me feel like being at home. On the day that I headed out earlier than breakfast time...she was sweet and got me a yogurt to go! I highly recommended staying with Giovanna. She's a lovely lady, very hospitable and her place is immaculate!! Really enjoyed my stay!! Her home really felt like a home away from home!
