It was great to stay with Giovanbatistta in his beautiful, unique and creative home! You won't find another place like it. I felt completely welcomed to share the living spaces and he has also created a beautiful comfortable and private room to stay in! His house is on the not so touristy side of Firenze which was great, full of lots of great places to explore, eat out, but with locals! And it is still walking distance to tourist attractions like the Uffizi etc. Lastly, i'd recommend going up to Piazza della Passera near his house for an amazing gelato!!
