The apartment worked out really well for me and my parents. Giulia was very nice and helpful, pointing us to local markets and nearby attractions. We really enjoyed making meals in the kitchen, but our best meal was probably from the pizza place across the street, which I highly recommend. The location also worked well, with close proximity to a grocery store and the heart of the city.

FYI, there is one flight of stairs up to the apartment, since the American usage of "first floor" can be interpreted differently. Outside it was a bit noisy during the day with some nearby construction, but it quieted down in the evening.

Overall I enjoyed our stay here and would definitely return. Thank you Giulia for letting us stay, and I hope to return to Florence soon!
