Giovanni’s place had a good location where everything was in walkable distance. We met with his brother instead who was very nice. We did run into two issues, one being the bed/bed sheets reeked of smoke. It was very uncomfortable to sleep because of the smell. On the second night, we found a wool blanket that did not smell like smoke that we laid on top of the bed to sleep on that instead. The second was that the shower only heated for about five minutes, and then became a cold shower. To be fair, we did not complain to Giovanni about these things because we weren’t staying for very long, and figured we could just deal with them. The cleaners did clean everything else well though, and he had great recommendations for things around the area! I’m sure we were just the one time bad experience, because of how great his reviews our! It did not take away from us loving beautiful Florence :)
