Our family of 5 stayed at Gabriele's place from July 4-7. The apartment, for those that are American is on the 2nd floor (not 1st or ground floor). It is a beautiful quaint apartment and was extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. It is in the best spot possible - close to the Duomo, and Uffizi, and walking distance to most anything! The towels and linens are hotel quality. Gabriele is a great host and we had the pleasure of meeting him during our stay. I would highly recommend anyone rent his trendy, beautiful place. You will not be disappointed - there is also a washer / dryer combo and a grocery store nearby. It was fantastic!
