Gianfranco's daughter, Laura, made us feel more than welcome from the onset of our stay to the end. She answered all of our questions promptly and was a generous, gracious hostess. The apartment is marvelously situated in easy walking distance from major sights, specialty shops and infinite restaurants. The master bedroom is large and has ample closet and storage space. The kitchen is charming and very well equipped. The washing machine and dishwasher came in very handy. However, potencial renters should know that there are 48 stairs from the street to the apartment door in the case of mobility problems. Also, prospective renters should be aware that although the main bathroom is large and comfortable the second bathroom is quite small and does not have a shower. All in all, we were very happy in the apartment and thank Laura for making our time in Florence so memorable and special.
