This place is perfect!! I can't even begin to say how much I loved Gaia's apartment. It is really conveniently located, 5 mins from the main train station, the apartment is in perfect condition, it looks even better than in pictures. It overlooks the Santa Maria Novella square and the Duomo. The apartment felt so clean that you feel like you are staying in a hotel. The rooms were very spacious and so was the bathroom. The small living room and open kitchen were lovely too. Upon arrival, Gaia had already prepared a list of restaurants, gelatarias, pizzerias for us. She also went the extra mile and did some research for us about where to get a bicycle (my husband really wanted to buy one in Italy). The 2 nights at Gaia's were the best nights of our 2-week Euro trip. Do mind that the apartment is on the highest level of the building which meant climbing 4 floors of steps with luggage, but believe it is all worth it once you walk into the apartment.
