Before arriving we received a detailed and warm message from Gio regarding how to get to the apartment from the station and whereabouts. Gio was on vacation in Lisbon during our stay, his friend Rodrigo greeted us kindly and helped us out with everything we needed, very nice guy! The apartment and the room are charming with lots of personality, clearly one is in a private collection of its own sort, a little museum in Firenze. All clean and tidy. Location is excellent to experience the city among locals, a short walk to all main sites. Do yourself a favor and grab a bite at Trattoria Carmine right around the corner: one of the best restaurants we tried during our whole trip to Italy! Staying at Gio's made us feel less as tourists and more like we were enjoying an authentic experience in the city.
