The other reviews here are absolutely correct -- this place is an absolute GEM and the hosts couldn't be more hospitable or generous. Gianni and Patrizia met us at the apartment when we arrived, and Gianni was very patient with our broken Italian and communicated well to us in English, both about the apartment, the area in Firenze, and future recommended spots in our travels through Italy. They stocked the little refrigerator with assorted breakfast foods and drinks; provided us a bottle of wine; and there are assorted toiletries for your use if you find you've forgotten something essential. The apartment itself is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out -- you end up enjoying the innovative use of the small intimate space rather than begrudging it. The area is very centrally located -- a few blocks from the Duomo, near the Santa Croce area. One thing to mention: as Gianni warned us, the apartment's wi-fi can get a bit spotty, especially in the evening. Not an issue, unless you require strong wi-fi at all times. We won't hesitate to stay here again when we hopefully get to Firenze again soon! Buon anno, and molto grazie, Patrizia and Gianni!
