Giulia's flat is in a beautiful building near to the centre of Florence. Apparently there are good public transport links nearby to take you into the centre, but we chose to walk every day as it only took 20 minutes. The area is quiet at night, but close enough to bars and restaurants if you choose to eat out. There is a very good supermarket nearby and we did a mixture of cooking and eating out.
The flat itself is in immaculate condition and was spotless when we stayed. There was everything you would need, and although we only stayed for 3 nights we would happily have stayed longer. Giulia was an excellent host and messaged me before our stay to explain how to get to the flat on the bus and gave bus numbers and stops. She was very friendly and took the time to show us around before showing us on a map how we could walk into the city, and where all the main sights and attractions were. During our stay she also messaged me with recommendations for places to eat. We did take her advice and it was excellent!
Thank you Giulia!
