We stayed at Sharika's house at San Giovanni in Florence in late April 2014 for 3 days. The description is very accurate. There is no better location. Its almost in the shadow of the Duomo and a 10 minute walk to Uzzizi, Palazzo Vechio, Galleria Accadamia. The area is alive with tourists even at night and is a fantastic area to stroll around. The street itself has many restaurants and is a short walk to mercato centralle which has a host of great restaurants in addition to the main market. It was also a 7 min walk to the main station. Really no better location in florence.

The house itself was fantastic. Huge, clean and very well provided. There was coffee, oil, sugar, salt all stocked for us. The bathroom was very clean. Though we didnt use them, I loved the pack of toothbrushes she had left us. To top it all she provided us with a baby bed/ travel cot free of charge for our 2 year old which was a blessing.

We had no trouble at all and the experience at her flat was perfect.
Thank you Sharika for a memorable stay.
