Giovanni’s place is a quirky apartment located fairly conveniently within Florence. My friend and I were surprised to find that there were other guests sharing the apartment with us, which we were not informed of, and made for an uncomfortable encounter. It was hard to sleep at night as the rooms get very hot and there is no air conditioning. There was no hot water in the apartment during our stay, and we also had to turn off the water line when we were not using it to keep water from leaking into the apartments below. I would not stay in this place again.
