Gian's apartment is the perfect place to stay in Florence. It is larger and brighter than the photos and in a great building. The street is an excellent one, just one block from the river. We found some nice restaurants & breakfast places there. It was a very short walk from the train station and easy walking distance of all the main attractions. The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and we felt very safe as the local police chief's station is directly opposite with two policemen on guard outside. We were not troubled by any street noise at all when we were there. I am sure you will be highly delighted if you choose to stay here!
