If Giulio's place is available for your stay in Florence, grab it!! This is a bright, open, beautifully decorated art deco apartment. We were so impressed, we even brought one of our tour guides in to see it. She has a background in furniture restoration so she pointed out the uniqueness of some of the pieces. I cant imagine a more equipped kitchen in any other AirBnB. I was surprised to find out that the owner was not a professional chef. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and attractive. The air conditioning works great, which we found is not always the case in Europe. The technology/entertainment features are top notch. Giulio is a great host answering all of my questions prior to arrival. Arlene was waiting for us outside when our taxi pulled up so check-in went smoothly. The location of the apartment is good. The Oltrarno has many wonderful neighborhood restaurants and is away from the crowds. The Piazza del Carmine was under construction, so we did not see it at its best, but that did not take away from our stay. We would highly recommend this apartment.
