I stayed in Gianni's apartment for 5 night s with my wife, 9 year old daughter and father-in-law. What a great apartment! The location is amazing being right in the heart of everything and so close to Piazza della Repubblica and Ponte Vecchio. It is a bit loud in the mornings with all the carts going down the street but not a big deal if when the windows are closed. The apartment is much larger than I expected with plenty of room for a few people. The AC was a nice comfort to have at night during the warm summer days. The master bed is huge and very comfortable. The kitchen is quite large and is well appointed. Being on the top floor there are almost 90 stairs to climb with no elevator but that is just part of the charm of staying in an old tower in the medieval part of Florence. Gianni let us check in early so we didn't have to deal with our bags during the day. He even carried my huge over-packed roller bag on his shoulders up all the stairs! He was very accommodating and came back later the first day to provide more sheets when asked. The artwork was a nice touch as well. Overall, a very classy apartment. We splurged a bit on this place and to have the extra room and we were very pleased with our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here.
