We really enjoyed out stay at Gibby's flat in Florence. The flat is large, spacious and cool which was great in 36 degrees! It is just outside the centre of Florence, it took us 20 minutes to walk to central Florence (there are buses but we found them a bit confusing!) but as we were there in July it was really busy so it was quite nice to escape the crowds. The area is very quiet and residential but the area has everything we needed. A earlier review mentioned a pizzeria round the corner which was excellent (there is a restaurant downstairs and takeaway upstairs) There are also a couple of restaurants and shops in the opposite direction near the park which also had a great outdoor bar with food, which was lovely. Gibby was prompt to respond to all communications. Her directions to the flat were clear and her friend met us there and showed us round. If you want somewhere that is way from the hustle and bustle of central Florence but within walking distance then this place is great.
