Giovanna's place was beautiful! We didn't get to meet Giovanna in person but her lovely friend Judith met us at the flat and showed us everything we needed to know. The apartment is very centrally located ... you have all of the must-see sights and DELICIOUS food just short walks away! The house overlooks a beautiful piazza. It can be a little loud at night, but we weren't too bothered as the noise quiets down after midnight. You can beat the local and the apartment is so comfy and bright and clean! I certainly recommend, and will be staying here next time in Florence!
