We were checked in personally by Giulia's father who was really friendly and helpful. Giulia sent us messages with tips for local places to visit and there was very helpful information in the apartment. It was very hot when we visited Florence and the air conditioning in the apartment was excellent. The apartment has on street parking nearby and we found it easy, even in high season to find a place. It is about 20-25 mins walk to the centre and the tourist sites which we found very easy to walk. The apartment was well equipped and very clean, highly recommended!
