It is hard to put into words just how great our experience was staying at Gianfranco's home. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and a ton of valuable information regarding the area and the apartment itself. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The apartment is in the heart of Florence, a stones throw from the historic Ponte Vecchio. There are many shops, restaurants, and cafes in close proximity of the place. Our interactions with our hosts were nothing but pleasant. Gianfranco was very kind and accommodated us with much comfort and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Florentine home in the heart of what was once regarded the capitol of the world. We are thankful for our experience and are already missing our stay.
