We really enjoyed our stay at Giovanni's Florence apartment. It was a very easy walking distance from the city center/Duomo, but also on a quiet street without really any tourists. The apartment was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed in the kitchen and several small groceries close by (one is just a 1-2 minute walk out the door). The quiet balcony was also perfect for relaxing. We had our 2 small children with us, and the size was perfect (a crib was provided for the baby). The bed was firm, which is great for some, but we were so tired at the end of the day that we slept very well. Giovanni was very prompt with replies and made sure to remind us how to enter the area so as not to get lost due to construction and street directional changes. His assistant met us at the apartment, gave us a tour and made sure we had everything we needed. I had asked for restaurant recommendations, which Giovanni provided, and he even helped make a reservation for us (Fuoco Matto - excellent! and a quick walk from the apartment). We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if we come back to Florence!
