This apartment was absolutely perfect, and Giancarlo was a fantastic host.

Right from booking, he was in contact months in advance and made us feel at ease that there would be no trouble in finding the apartment. He even sent through a map of how to get there from Santa Maria Novella station. He was delightful and enthusiastic and clearly passionate about his town - giving us plenty of recommendations of places to visit as well as some fantastic restaurants.

The apartment is INCREDIBLY central- the Ponte Vecchio acts as the perfect landmark to find your way back. It's also a little out of the way of all the tourists which is really nice. We felt very safe walking back as two young women late at night. It is bright and airy and everything you need for a few days stay. The rooms are spacious and it was very clean.
