We had a great time staying at Giada's place for 3 nights. The building the apartment is located in is just beautiful. The location was absolutely perfect-- about a 10 minute walk from the historical center of the city. The apartment itself was very clean, cozy, and a great value. We had some difficulty setting up check-in plans with our host, so it is a good idea to be proactive and confirm check-in procedures well in advance. She was very helpful and responsive with troubleshooting problems with the Wifi during our visit, which was conveniently fixed while we were out sightseeing. Staying at Giada's apartment was a great experience and certainly helped us enjoy all that Florence has to offer.
