We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Florence and our stay in the apartment. The family were very flexible with our arrival and departure times (even booking a taxi to the airport for us). Gianni was there to meet us, explain how everything worked and where the apartment was in relation to the main tourist sites of Florence.
The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had everything you would need to cater for yourself, although we chose to eat out every day.
The air conditioning was excellent and enabled us to sleep well, without the need to have windows open. However the residential area seemed very quiet at night, with minimal traffic and noise.
All the main tourist sites were within a comfortable stroll from the apartment with excellent restaurants (at non tourist prices) also within a few minutes walk.
This is an excellent and comfortable apartment in a good position to enjoy the sites of Florence . However anyone renting the apartment does need to be able to manage 4 flights of steep stone stairs as the apartment is on the top floor an there is no lift, (the plus side of this is that you can eat lots of lovely pasta and gelato without putting on too much weight!)
Thank you again Gianni for your help.
