Gaia was a perfect host! Her communication was very smooth and exact. We had no problems meeting with her and arriving to the apartment. She had a laminated sheet with great info on many restaurants, super markets, taxi stations, etc....it was very helpful.
Her apartment is just BEAUTIFUL. We LOVED the modern/rustic way it is decorated. It is VERY clean, which is always appreciated. The shower stall was "large" by Italian standards and we appreciated that it was so, after being in TINY shower stalls for most of our trip. Il
Gaia's apartment is extremely close to the train station and all of the best places to visit/see in Florence. We were backpacking, so the location made things so incredibly easy to get around. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Florence, we hope we get to stay with Gaia again!
