Gerardo was a great host. He was welcoming, very responsive with messages, and gave us excellent directions to the apartment. He also gave us lots of useful information about tourist attractions and transport within Italy. He went the extra mile to help us, which I appreciate. It was a pleasure to meet him!
The apartment is in an excellent location. It's very close to the Uffizzi gallery, and you can even see the famous Florence Duomo from the kitchen/living room window. The apartment is homely and welcoming, and it was very quiet there during the night, so it was easy to relax. The only thing I would mention is that for late risers (like me) who sleep in past 8am, there may be disruption caused to your sleep from scooters on the nearby road. I only noticed this noise occuring after about 7.30/8 in the morning, so if I stay here again in the future I would simply wake up earlier.
All in all, Gerardo is a great host and I loved the apartment!
