My friend and I stayed at Gio and Mary’s place for 3 days and each day was amazing! The apartment was clean upon arrive, very stylish, comfy bed, and close walking distance to shopping and the Duomo. Gio was very communicative with us, accommodating to our requests, and very helpful with tips and suggestions about what to do in Florence. Two things about the apartment to keep in mind if visiting. There was no AC so in the summer time it can get warm at night however Gio provided fans which helped a lot. Second, his apartment is the on third floor so if you have heavy or a lot of luggage keep this in mind. Overall would definitely recommend, wonderful host and place to stay in!
