Great play to stay, right near the Arno River and all of Florence's main attractions. We visited in November and found that things we considerably less busy then they might have been in the summer. Gian's place is the perfect size for a couple, with plenty of space to move around. We didn't meet Gian but he was always easy to reach and very responsive. Wifi was great and there's a police station across the street so you feel a little safer too. Would definitely recommend!
