My friend and I just left Giada and her brother Danielle, and we had a fantastic experience. The room was cozy with a fully functional air conditioner (which is essential when it is 39 C during the day in Florence!) Danielle was very very sweet to us and spent a good deal of time giving us fabulous restaurant recommendations. The shower was better than mine at home in Amsterdam, and really, what more could you ask for? The location is also quite nice - 15 min walk from Ponte Vecchio on the more residential Florentine side of the river (RE: not as many bustling tourists). All in all, we had a great time and would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a less touristy Florence experience.
