We were only able to stay at Giada's in Florence for a night but it was lovely! The apartment was recently renovated and it is very modern. It is a perfect location to see a more local part of Florence and was only a 15 minute walk from the train station. Giada was very hospitable and gave us great recommendations on what to visit and where to eat. One of our favorites was Gusta's Pizzeria and going to St. Mark's Anglican church for a beautiful opera performance. She had breakfast laid out for us the next morning before we had to catch the train. She was a fabulous host and we look forward to coming back!
