Gaia's place was a wonderful experience for our small family of three. Our original booking in Florence canceled three days before our arrival and while we were already in the midst of our Italian vacation. Luckily, we found Gaia's apartment and she responded quickly. We ended up being very happy with the way things worked out. This apartment was easily walk-able from the train station and located right in the middle of everything you would want to see or do in Florence...despite the fact that it rained the entire time we were there, we were still able to walk to all the major sites. It was larger than we expected with a small extra bedroom on the upper floor leading to the beautiful terrace and a spacious bathroom with a tub. I would highly recommend Gaia's place and hope to stay there again!
