Gabriele was a fantastic host. He was happy to meet us at the apartment shortly after our train had arrived at the station. He gave good instructions on his apartment as well as a map of things to see, restaurants to go to etc. Like others have said I think the apartment is better than the photos. It was clean, easy to cook, and comfortable. Great to have air conditioning as well as it was 34 degrees everyday when we were in Florence. The apartment is very well located within the city, everything you need is a very short walk away. Would recommend to all, I'd happily go back.
