Giancarlo's place was very handy during our stay in Florence. It's not in a super touristey area but doesn't take long to walk to the main sites. It is small - we were two people staying and I don't think we would have been very comfortable with a third person. The shower especially is very tight. Note as well that there are no kitchen facilities (although we were eating out every meal so it wasn't an issue!). Overall we were certainly comfortable and would be happy recommending the place to someone looking for a reasonably priced place to stay, but not wanting a huge amount of space to hang out in.
