Giancarlo was a great host and his flat in Florence is so nice! The neighborhood was all locals, and the nearby restaurants were really excellent. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go from the apartment without a problem. The only complaint about the area was that it was a bit noisy at night (street cleaners, late night loud talkers). Giancarlo met us at the apartment and was so kind and helpful. He gave good recommendations and was available for any needs we had. He also let us store our luggage at the apartment after checkout while we waited for our train to leave so we were able to explore the city much more easily. Our stay in Florence was really wonderful!
