Gianfranco and his family live in the same building, which makes communication extremely easy. Both Gianfranco and his wife speak English. Gianfranco made our arrival super smooth by giving me precise instructions on how to reach the apartment. Traffic in Florence is complex with limited traffic zone in the historic centre. They were expecting us and as soon as we arrived they came to the door and welcomed us and helped us up with the luggage. On the following days, Gianfranco and his family did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible, including taking us for coffee in a great terrace with a beautiful view of the city and to VODAFONE to get an Italian mobile number. One evening my wife and I went out for dinner with his family in a great restaurant Gianfranco suggested. Appartment well equipped, well located, clean and beautiful. We felt immediately at home. The hosts couldn't be nicer and friendlier. Made us feel like residents of FlorenceGianfranco has earned the status of SUPER HOST and we can affirm it is well deserved. There are several restaurants , bars and trattorias close to the apartment, as well as a supermarket. We will definitely return.
