LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Giulia's apartment is very close to the heart of Florence. Within a 2 to 3 minute walk you can see sights of the Duomo and within 10 minutes you are standing right in front of it. We went to Florence with our 8 month old son and Giulia equipped the place with a pack and play which was very helpful. Although there was no other baby stuff in the place, Giulia was attentive when you sent her any inquiries. About a few days in we asked if she happened to have a baby chair and she dropped one off the very same day. The place had 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and good closet storage space. The kitchen was equipped with dishes, utensils, the works. This was important to us since we had the baby so we pretty much had everything we needed to prepare and make his food. The neighborhood around the place was a little sketchy. There was a liquor that always had drunk guys around it but it never bugged us and they honestly never did anything to us (just an FYI). The place itself felt a little "dusty" to me so we did spend the first day brooming and mopping. Once again, I don't think I would have it were just me and my husband but our baby was crawling so he was all over the floors. My only complaint was that there is only one garbage can in the entire place and its in the kitchen. You have to walk the garbage out whenever its full so Im assuming thats why there is only one. It's a pretty tiny bucket but we had to save every plastic bag we encountered (shopping/supermarket) so we could place them in the bathrooms or use them as refill bags in the kitchen. You also have to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwashing soap - the property doesn't have any of that. The local market is a 5 min walk so easy to get all of that stuff but those are also the things you aren't usually thinking about when packing for a month trip. We enjoyed our stay in Florence and what the city had to offer!
