I met an associate of Gibby's at the apartment and she gave me a quick tour. I felt welcomed and the space was exactly as I had hoped. In fact, it is even better than the pictures show.

The apartment was clean, decorated nicely, and in a great location. I was originally apprehensive to stay a little bit outside the main downtown area of Florence, but I am so thrilled now that I did. I spent 2 and a half days in Florence and I walked all over the entire city. Everything was very accessible on foot. I think it took me maybe 25 minutes to walk casually from Gibby's apartment to the Arno. At the end of an action-packed day, I was very happy to return to her quieter neighborhood to get a good night's sleep.

Gibby was easy to communicate with, her apartment was clean and very nice looking, and I fully recommend it. If and when I return to Florence, I would not hesitate staying here again.
