What a fantastic apartment!
Gainpaolo's parents met us and showed us around the lovely cosy flat upon arrival. They had left us a beautiful fruit bowl and basic staples - water, juice, coffee, tea etc which was greatly welcomed.
The location was perfect for us - On a main road so was very easy to find and walk to, but the bedroom and kitchen are located at the back so it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. The bedroom and kitchen both have doors onto the beautiful garden, of which the apartment has it's own space. It really made the whole experience for us so special to have an outdoor peaceful haven after the hustle and bustle of Florence.
The hosts were nearby if we needed them but never invaded our privacy.
i really recommend this place - the location, the garden, the hosts (who were so gracious and generous, they even gave me a bottle of bubbly as i was celebrating my birthday, lent us umbrella's, and allowed us to leave our luggage).
