Where do we begin? From the time we started communicating till after we left, Giulia had an ongoing contact with us.
Our check-in timing conflicted with her gym class hence she could not be there to personally check us in. However that did not at all hinder the process. She had super clear instructions from key collection to which keys were for which doors. She made it a point to meet with us thereafter to share with us highlights of sights that we can visit and was very informative about local eateries as well.
Her recommendations for food choices were also very sumptuous. Her home is also very conveniently located that you can walk just about anywhere!
Do take note that there are many nice cafes around her home that you can have breakfast at. Despite that she had kept some light bites for our breakfast - something we didn’t expect and was a nice touch. The master bedroom has a chic - walk-in closet, hence there’s lots of space particularly if you have lots of luggage (we did, as Florence was our first stop to a long road trip). Only down side was the noise from the bar right below the apartment. We enjoyed it - as we heard good music in the night while chilling in the living space over wine - without having to leave the apartment. However do note it might be a problem for very light sleepers. We had no trouble as we just feel asleep to the great bar music!
All in, a great host and a super cool apartment in the heart of Florence! Thank you Giulia for your wonderful hospitality!
*P.S. the pictures don’t do justice to the actual apartment - it’s a lot more lovely in person.
